Locating an evasive individual is rarely a matter of luck – it is a systematic process of investigation and analysis. At Prism CourtServe, we treat skip tracing as a critical first step in the legal workflow. We combine advanced technology with professional intuition to turn cold leads into actionable information, ensuring your legal documents can finally be served.
What Does the Skip Tracing Process Involve?
Comprehensive Data Collection
The process begins with a deep dive into available data. We start with the information you provide and expand it using access to proprietary databases that the general public cannot reach. We analyze credit headers, utility usage, and change-of-address registries to build a preliminary profile. This initial sweep often reveals the most recent digital footprints left behind.
Digital Footprint Analysis
In today's connected world, it is difficult to disappear completely. We examine social media platforms and online activity to identify patterns and location indicators. By reviewing public posts, check-ins, and community interactions, we can often narrow down a geographical area. This digital forensics stage helps us understand not just where a person was, but where they are likely to be now.
Verification and Cross-Referencing
Data alone can be misleading, so verification is essential. We cross-reference our findings against multiple independent sources to ensure accuracy. This might involve checking property tax records against voter registration or validating phone numbers. We filter out outdated "noise" to ensure we are tracking the correct individual, preventing wasted time and resources on incorrect addresses.
Delivering Actionable Intelligence
The final stage is compiling our findings into a clear, usable report. We do not just give you a list of potential addresses; we provide the most likely location for successful service. Whether you need us to effect service immediately or simply need the data for your own records, we deliver results that allow your legal case to move forward.
