Locates

Professional hide-and-seek champions

Overview

What.
TCI quickly finds the most challenging defendants, witnesses, and other parties needing to be served in connection with litigation.

How.
Drawing on lessons learned over thousands of past locates, TCI leverages the best open-source* as well as non-public resources to understand what algorithms, artificial intelligence, and less trained human eyes cannot. When necessary, TCI moves beyond database and other online research to human intelligence, acquiring location information via telephone, in-person, or both as appropriate.

Contrast.
Many so-called skiptracing companies pay a few dollars for an automated raw report from a data broker/aggregator, often with incorrect information, then put their logo on it and resell at markups as high as 5000%. On the other hand, the largest investigative firms may not be flexible, prompt, or economical.

Results.
At the end of each assignment, TCI provides counsel with a clean, actionable report with precise location information, including degree of confidence and alternative possibilities for perfecting service.

* – The incredible utility of open-source research is demonstrated by the matter of world-renowned street artist Banksy. His identity was considered a closely guarded secret for decades, but he confirmed his name to the BBC in a 2003 interview that has been publicly accessible ever since. Despite this, the 2003 interview did not attract attention for twenty years.
