Leave No Stone Unturned
A Gallop poll reported that 24% of the Americans who responded to the poll had moved to a new city or area within the last five years. Other times, you discover the name of an unknown relative you would like to establish contact with, but all you have is a name from 20 years ago. Locating a missing relative or long-lost friend can sometimes be challenging.
Information you find on the web is often outdated or inaccurate, if even there. Social media searches can be frustrating if you don’t have a current name or an idea where the person now lives. This is when the services of a professional investigator may be necessary. Our name says it all.

FAQs
-
Just like it sounds. Individuals come to us with a variety of personal matters that they need investigative assistance on. Often we are contacted to find someone our client has been unable to locate despite their best efforts. The missing person could be a long lost relative named in a will, or someone who has skipped out on a debt or civil judgment, such as a tenant. In this day and age, people move frequently. We are also contacted by individuals who have a highly personal matter that needs investigated, which requires absolute discretion and confidentiality.

Our fee will often depend on why a missing person is so designated, or the exact nature of your concern on a sensitive matter. We have what we call a Basic Skip Trace fee of $300. This is easy to apply if you have a prior address or other identifiers on an individual, and he or she is not a “hard core skip,” someone who lives on the underground economy and is avoiding creditors. In those cases, our hourly rate and expenses would apply, and our fixed fees may vary. Long lost heirs, for example, often require a regular investigation, because the information available on them is several years old. Other personal and confidential matters can be evaluated and an estimate provided.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal and checks.

The resources we apply in searching for someone depend, again, on why that person is designated as missing. We have access to numerous proprietary and public databases, which often times after a few hours of investigation can lead us to where the missing person has moved. Other times, on older files, we have to have “boots on the ground,” an investigator knocking on doors and asking questions.
-
No. There are no guarantees in this business, other than our devotion to duty. We will work as hard, and as smart as possible within the budget agreed to with the client. Over the years we have had a high success rate in our missing person searches, and many confidential investigations have resulted in peace of mind for our clients.
