Skip Tracing in West Michigan

What is skip tracing?

Skip tracing is the process of locating a person whose current address or contact information is unknown. People become “skips” when they move without notice, stop answering, or deliberately avoid being found. A professional skip trace goes beyond a basic internet search. It combines record research, database analysis, interviews, and, when needed, field verification.

Who hires a skip tracer

• Attorneys who need to locate a witness, defendant, or party
• Businesses and creditors looking for a debtor or former customer
• Families searching for a relative or lost contact
• Estate matters that involve locating heirs and beneficiaries

How we approach a locate

Every locate starts with what a person cannot easily change: family, history, habits, and associations. We build from those leads, verify what we find, and document how each piece of information was obtained. That experience comes from skip tracing in the bail bond industry since 1999, where finding the person quickly was the job.

What you receive

• A verified current address or contact lead when one can be found
• Documentation of the sources and dates behind every finding
• A clear statement of how confident we are in the result
• Recommendations for next steps, such as contact or service of process

Lawful purpose only

We accept locate assignments with a legitimate, lawful purpose and may ask about the reason for the search. We do not help anyone locate a person in order to harass, stalk, or harm them. No investigator can honestly guarantee a result, but a thorough skip trace finds people that casual searching does not.
