Attorneys across the U.S. understand the complications that can arise with process serving. If a named party in a civil lawsuit assumes that they may be served, there’s a chance they could try to evade the process, or have moved to a new address. This could complicate your case, and may prevent it from moving forward.
Skip tracing provides a way for the right process serving team to quickly, legally, and efficiently locate defendants in your civil case.
As an industry leader, Firefly takes pride in offering comprehensive solutions to attorneys across the United States. Our skip tracing services are designed to empower legal professionals with innovative technology, and unparalleled accuracy in locating individuals.
Discover how Firefly Legal can enhance your legal strategies through our exceptional skip tracing services.
Skip tracing requires thorough knowledge of and compliance to the laws surrounding process serving. It’s a crucial method to locate the intended recipients of your legal documents, and can help attorneys save time and money.
Skip tracing can help give lawyers assurance of reliable document delivery, and allow process servers to locate, deliver, and verify recipients in a timely response to an attorney’s request.
The intricate process of skip tracing is vital for attorneys who need unparalleled legal services. However, it’s crucial that skip tracing methods are utilized by unbiased third parties and must remain within legal means.
Firefly Legal employs a range of strategies and applications to ensure the success of your skip tracing case, and our team offers customized solutions tailor-made to meet your unique needs. Let’s take a look.
The skip tracing specialists of Firefly Legal conduct deep dive searches across extensive confidential and public databases to quickly locate your intended process serving recipients.
We tap into a vast array of public and private records and proprietary sources. We then analyze a wealth of information to piece together valuable clues to discern an individual’s whereabouts, social and professional associations, and financial history.
We’ll utilize advanced technology to trace the digital footprint of your intended process serving recipients. This may include combing through a recipient’s social media presence and other digital interactions.
Digital footprint analysis can prove effective in cases where traditional methods may fall short of locating an individual. This analysis can also help to inform attorneys about the behavior of an individual, and could help to strengthen your case.
We will compile extensive notes from our skip tracing and process serving teams, including detailed notes about the databases checked and time, address, and verified delivery of process. We’ll also include updated status and relevant case information updated in a thorough affidavit.
In cases where digital skip tracing doesn’t suffice, our skip tracing team may conduct legal, compliant field investigations. This hands-on approach involves on-the-ground efforts to gather information, interview relevant parties, and validate leads.
Before we send our process servers into the field, we may use a pre-skip tracing system. This system allows us to pre-emptively trace an individual’s likely location on the chance that they should elude legal document delivery.
Our pre-skip system can help save attorneys vital time and money.
After we conduct pre-skip tracing, we can advise you and collaborate on where and how you should allow us to send our process serving team. This helps to ensure efficient process services, and may prevent the need for more detailed skip tracing procedures.
Maintaining a low profile may prove critical for successful skip tracing. Thus, Firefly Legal may use legal surveillance techniques to confirm an individual is present at a specific location before our process servers attempt delivery.

The cost of skip tracing can vary widely, typically between $20 and $350. The price depends on how complicated the search is, the resources used, and the time required. For more detailed or extensive searches, the cost can range from $450 to $800. It's best to ask your process server for a specific quote.
Skip tracing can be a good tool, though it can take time and isn’t always successful. Using various sources can improve your chances of finding the person you’re looking for and getting the information you need.
A skip trace usually reveals more than just a phone number or email address. It often includes details like property and address information, criminal records, legal and court history, and even social media profiles.
Skip tracers find people by using a variety of methods. They search phone number databases, credit reports, and job applications to gather information. They also review utility bills, driver records, and public databases. Additionally, they look at company records and leasing inquiries to piece together the person's location. These methods help them track down individuals who are hard to find.
Skip tracers can find bank accounts by accessing various sources of information. They use credit reports, asset records, and public records to locate individuals and identify their existing bank accounts. This helps in tracking down financial details for purposes like collecting unpaid debts.
The accuracy of skip tracing depends on the quality of the tools and information used. To get the best results, it's important to use up-to-date and detailed resources. The more current and thorough the information, the more accurate the skip tracing will be.
To skip trace someone, you need to collect as much information as possible about them. This includes their full name, current or past addresses, phone numbers, and any other details that could assist in locating them. The more information you have, the easier it will be to find the person.
Usually, you can't skip trace effectively with just an address. Most skip trace services require the owner's name along with the address to get accurate results. Without a name, finding the person can be challenging and the results might not be reliable.
Skip tracing is used to find debtors who are hard to locate or have intentionally avoided payment. It typically includes debtors who are difficult to find, but it does not apply to intentional, legal, or criminal debtors.
A skip tracer and a bounty hunter have different roles. Skip tracers gather information and create reports to help locate people, often using records and online tools. Bounty hunters use this information to find and capture fugitives, following legal rules and regulations during their search.
Skip tracers and private investigators serve different purposes. While private investigators can handle skip tracing, it tends to be pricier. If you need basic skip tracing, a skip tracer is usually a more affordable option. Private investigators are often brought in for more intricate cases, but skip tracers are generally more cost-effective for straightforward searches. Additionally, most skip tracers do not work directly for the original creditors seeking judgment.
