Results From the Field
Anonymized examples from actual investigations. Client and subject details are withheld to protect confidentiality.
Located defendant in 72 hours
A plaintiff's attorney needed to serve a defendant who had relocated out of state before a filing deadline. Using proprietary database research and field verification, we confirmed a current address within 72 hours — allowing service to proceed and the case to move forward on schedule.
Identified undisclosed real property before mediation
Defense counsel retained us to assess a plaintiff's asset position before a personal injury mediation. Our asset investigation identified two parcels of real property and a business interest not disclosed in initial discovery — materially affecting the settlement posture.
Background check revealed prior inconsistent testimony
A background investigation on an opposing expert witness uncovered prior sworn testimony in an unrelated matter that directly contradicted the expert's stated methodology. Counsel used the finding during cross-examination to successfully challenge the expert's credibility.
All case examples are anonymized. Names, jurisdictions, and identifying details have been omitted or altered to protect client and subject confidentiality.
