When a defendant, witness, or debtor can't be found at a known address, our investigative team uses public records, database searches, and field verification to establish a current, serviceable address — domestically and internationally.
Before serving a corporate defendant, confirming the correct legal entity, registered agent, and jurisdiction of formation avoids wasted attempts. We verify corporate registry records both in the U.S. and abroad.
For matters requiring more than a locate — asset searches, background verification, or confirming a defendant's actual place of business — we conduct thorough due diligence investigations that produce a documented, court-usable record.
Where a defendant is actively evading service, we document every attempt and search conducted, producing a sworn affidavit of due diligence that supports a motion for alternative service under FRCP Rule 4(f)(3) or comparable state rules.
