Florida Witness Location Services for Attorneys

Witness Location & Background Vetting

Find the Right Person. Verify the Record.

Finding an address is only useful if it belongs to the correct person. We combine identifiers, public records and appropriate database research to locate a witness, then document background information relevant to counsel's preparation.

Scope and Authorization

We define the initial work before the investigation begins. Any change in scope is discussed with you and requires your authorization.

Step 1: Locating the Witness

We use professional databases, public records and field verification when necessary to locate people who have moved, use incomplete identifiers or may be difficult to serve.

• Identity resolution: Compare names, ages, addresses, associates and other identifiers before attributing a record.
• Address development: Trace available address history and current-location leads through lawful sources.
• Field verification: Confirm a location when database information alone is not enough.
• Service support: Provide findings to counsel or a licensed process server; we do not compel a witness to appear.

Step 2: Pre-Deposition Background Investigations

Pre-deposition research helps counsel understand the witness and verify information that may bear on knowledge, bias or credibility. It is scoped to the case and reported with source references.

• Criminal and civil records: Verify potentially relevant public records without treating an arrest as a conviction.
• Bias and conflict research: Identify documented relationships or interests for counsel to evaluate.
• Litigation history: Locate available prior cases or statements when a legitimate connection exists.
• Source report: Separate confirmed records, possible matches and unanswered questions.

What Counsel Receives

The report identifies the sources searched, the identifiers used to distinguish the witness, any confirmed location information and unresolved leads. A possible address is labeled as a lead until the available facts support it. Background research and interviews can be scoped separately from the initial locate; finding someone does not guarantee service, cooperation or testimony.

An Example of How Findings Are Labeled

The following is a fictional reporting example, not a client case or evidence of a successful locate. Actual reports depend on the agreed assignment.

This distinction lets counsel decide what needs further verification before relying on a lead. Review Danielle Roberts' professional background and Florida licensing records when choosing an investigator.

Start a Witness Locate

At the consultation, provide the name, known aliases, approximate age, previous addresses, relevant case role and any service or deposition deadline. Tell us whether you need location research only, field verification or background work. Share sensitive records through a method agreed with the investigator rather than putting an entire case file into the inquiry form.

The estimate depends on the quality of the identifiers, research depth, travel and any field verification. We discuss a first phase and reporting expectations before work begins. If the deadline is close, ask us to confirm availability; no fixed turnaround is promised.
