What Is Skip Tracing?

  Skip tracing is the process of locating an individual whose current whereabouts are unknown. It involves researching and analyzing information from multiple sources to identify current or recent addresses, contact information, employment information, associates, and other leads that may help establish a person's location.

  A successful skip trace involves more than simply entering a name into an online database. Records may be outdated, incomplete, or associated with another person who has a similar name. Professional investigation helps evaluate and cross-reference available information to determine which records are most likely to be accurate.

Uses Skip Tracing Services?

Our skip tracing services can assist with a variety of investigative and legal matters, including:

• Service of Process — Locating defendants, witnesses, and other parties who must be served with legal documents.
• Attorney Investigations — Finding witnesses, clients, defendants, claimants, and other individuals connected to civil or criminal litigation.
• Witness Location — Identifying the current whereabouts of witnesses who may have important information about a case.
• Criminal Defense Investigations — Locating witnesses and other individuals who may possess information relevant to the defense.
• Personal Injury Investigations — Finding witnesses, involved parties, or other individuals who may provide information concerning an accident or injury.
• Civil Litigation — Locating parties and potential witnesses associated with lawsuits and other legal proceedings.
• Address Verification — Researching available information to help determine whether an address is current and associated with the correct individual.
• Hard-to-Locate Individuals — Conducting additional research when ordinary internet searches and basic database inquiries have been unsuccessful.

More Than a Database Search

  Information is only useful when it can be connected to the correct person.

  Our skip tracing process may involve examining and comparing multiple lawful information sources, including public records, address histories, property information, court records, business records, professional databases, known associates, and other investigative resources.

  When appropriate, information from multiple sources can be compared to identify inconsistencies, eliminate outdated leads, and develop a more reliable picture of an individual's current whereabouts.

Skip Tracing for Service of Process

  An incorrect or outdated address can result in unsuccessful service attempts, unnecessary expenses, and delays in legal proceedings.

  Duces Tecum Investigative Services combines skip tracing and service of process to help locate difficult-to-find defendants and other parties. When an address is no longer valid, investigative research can help identify additional leads before further service attempts are made.

  For attorneys and law firms, this provides a convenient way to coordinate investigative research and document service through a single professional resource.

Skip Tracing for Attorneys

  Locating people is often an essential part of effective litigation support.

  We assist attorneys with locating witnesses, defendants, plaintiffs, former employees, potential witnesses, and other persons relevant to a case. Our investigative approach is designed to provide useful information that can help attorneys determine the appropriate next step in their investigation or litigation strategy.

  We understand the importance of confidentiality, accuracy, documentation, and timely results when investigative work is performed in connection with legal matters.
