We locate your missing defendants, witnesses, beneficiaries and just about anybody else you need an address for. In addition to a current address, in most cases, the following information is also found and reported:

Locate Investigation - Skip trace and Judgment Debtors

A "Skip" is any person who cannot be readily found, a deadbeat, a privacy extremist, or somebody who is actively avoiding creditors and possibly law enforcement authorities. Most Judgment Debtors can also be classified as "Skips."

A different approach to locating "Skips" is utilized since most conventional methods of investigation will not produce any results. The costs are a little higher and we DO NOT offer any no locate, no charge agreements. If we cannot provide you with accurate, current information, we prepare a comprehensive report with all of the information we have gained and forward it to your office at a discounted rate.

Cost: $225-$400

Bank Levy - Post Judgment

Upon obtaining your Writ of Execution and with the correct bank account information, we can open a file with the appropriate levying officer (Sheriff or Marshal). From there we can levy the accounts, either on a same day basis, or at a future date.

The advantage to our office levying the accounts is timing and control over your levy.  A levying officer (Sheriff or Marshal) will levy the accounts at any given time, regardless of the bank account balance. Upon doing so, they are also required to give notice to the judgment debtor. If there is not a sufficient balance to satisfy your judgment, the judgment debtor will most likely immediately close his account, and thus you have to start the entire process from the beginning.

Before any levy is made by our office, we obtain a specific dollar amount that the client is seeking. We then monitor the account until it reaches that pre specified amount, and if there are sufficient funds available, we levy the account on the same day. Since any Writ of Execution is good for 180 days (6 months), this amount of time affords a comfortable time frame in which to monitor the account.

Cost:    $195.00 per levy with the documents prepared by your office.
$250.00 per levy including documents prepared by our office.
$10.00  per balance inquiry.
