Your case is at a standstill. The one person you need to serve has vanished, and without proper service, the entire action could be dismissed. Every failed attempt wastes time and money, turning a missing person into a legal roadblock.
This isn’t a dead end. For a professional process server, it’s a challenge to be solved. We have a methodical approach to locating hard-to-find individuals, turning uncertainty into successful service.
Understanding the Art of the Skip Trace
Finding someone who doesn’t want to be found is a professional skill called skip tracing. It’s not a simple Google search; it’s a systematic, investigative process that pieces together a digital and physical puzzle. This is a critical service for ensuring every person is afforded their right to due process, even when they are elusive.
Starting the Search with Digital Tools
The search starts with data. Our first step is a deep dive into proprietary, non-public databases that provide address histories, utility records, and known associates. This gives us a strong starting point that isn’t available to the general public.
We then cross-reference those findings with public records, including Denver County property filings, vehicle registrations, and other court documents. This digital groundwork helps us verify information and build a clear picture of the individual’s last known movements.
Taking the Search from Data to Doorstep
Data only tells part of the story. The next phase requires real-world verification, where local knowledge is key. Finding a person in a secure LoDo high-rise is a different challenge than locating an unmarked address in the foothills. Our servers understand these unique Denver environments.
This fieldwork involves discreetly confirming details. Does the vehicle in the driveway match registration records? Can a building manager or concierge legally confirm a resident’s name? This isn’t about spying; it’s about performing the due diligence needed to confirm a location before attempting service.
Performing a Legally-Required Diligent Search
Sometimes, a person is truly gone. When all leads are exhausted, we perform a diligent search. This is the final, exhaustive step required by the courts, and it must be documented perfectly. Every attempt to find the defendant is logged with GPS coordinates and time-stamped data.
If the individual cannot be found, we prepare a formal “Affidavit of Diligent Search.” This sworn document proves to the court that every reasonable effort was made, which can allow your case to proceed with an alternative method of service.
