Six kinds of client, one requirement: it has to hold up.
Whether the finding ends up in a motion, a claim file, a credit committee memo, or a garnishment, it has to be sourced, verified, and defensible. That is the standard we build every engagement to, and each kind of work is led by the expert best qualified for it. Looking for your sector instead? See Industries.
Litigation attorneys and law firms
You need to know whether a case is worth filing, where to serve a defendant who doesn't want to be found, and what a judgment can actually reach. You also need work product that survives a challenge: sourced, dated, and attachable.
- Pre-suit collectibility analysis before your client funds the case
- Locating evasive defendants and building a diligence record for alternative service
- Post-judgment asset and account identification for writs and levies
- Fraudulent transfer tracing with the recording chain documented, including crypto assets
- Witness location, interviews, and recorded statements
- Device and account forensics when the evidence is on a phone or computer
- Declarations of the investigator where the filing requires one
Insurance carriers, adjusters, and coverage counsel
Accident and incident investigation is where this firm started. Our founder has been doing it for attorneys and adjusters across the country since 1974, and the method hasn't changed: get to the scene and the people, document what can be proven, and report it plainly.
- Accident and incident investigation, scene documentation, and photographs
- Recorded statements from claimants, insureds, and witnesses
- Locating claimants and witnesses who have moved
- Policy existence, limits, and umbrella coverage searches
- Asset checks to inform subrogation and recovery decisions
- Background and litigation history on parties to a claim
- Surveillance and activity checks on claimed limitations
Attorneys in criminal matters
Our core practice is civil, but two of our capabilities are especially useful in criminal work: examining devices, and interviewing people. When the case turns on what is on a phone, or on what a witness actually saw, counsel brings us in for that piece.
- Device forensics on phones, computers, and accounts, with the method documented
- Review of the digital evidence the other side intends to rely on
- Witness location and forensic interviews designed to produce reliable accounts
- Mitigation research that documents a client's history, trauma, and circumstances
- Records retrieval and background research
In-house counsel and risk teams
In most deals the real risk sits with the counterparty, not the paperwork. We establish who is actually behind an entity, what follows the principals, and whether the party on the other side of a transaction can perform. We also test how exposed your own organization is.
- Counterparty and vendor due diligence before execution
- Beneficial ownership and related-party mapping
- Litigation, lien, and regulatory history on entities and principals
- Due diligence on crypto ventures and their principals, including SEC enforcement history
- Support for internal investigations and conflict-of-interest reviews
- Penetration testing and OSINT exposure assessments for executives and the organization
Creditors, collection firms, and judgment buyers
Recovery comes down to math: what the search costs against the odds of collecting. We try to make that math clear with fast locates, honest negative results, and asset findings that tell you whether to pursue or write it off.
- High-volume skip tracing with consistent turnaround and format
- Employment identification for wage garnishment
- Bank and brokerage relationship identification for writs
- Asset verification and equity posture before enforcement spend
- Tracing concealed cryptocurrency to exchanges that can be subpoenaed
- Clear negative reporting so you stop spending on uncollectible files
Receivers, trustees, personal representatives, and family law counsel
When you are responsible for an estate, a receivership, or a marital community, you need a complete inventory, and you need to know what was moved before you arrived. Holdings are spread across entities, counties, and increasingly across wallets.
- Asset inventories across entities and jurisdictions
- Transfers to relatives, trusts, and shell entities, with the instruments documented
- Identification of digital asset holdings and exchange accounts
- Heir and beneficiary location in probate matters
- Business interest and real property mapping for valuation
