Ever had a defendant dodge service or disappear just when you need them most?


That’s where skip tracing comes in.


At True Legal Solutions, we help law firms, investigators, and businesses locate individuals who are difficult to find. Whether it’s someone avoiding a subpoena, a former employee who vanished, or a witness who moved without a trace—skip tracing is the tool we use to get results.

What Is Skip Tracing?


Skip tracing is the process of locating a person’s whereabouts—especially someone who has intentionally gone off the radar. The term “skip” comes from “skipping town,” and “tracing” is the act of finding them.

This process is commonly used in:

  • Legal service of process (especially when a defendant is evasive)

  • Debt collection

  • Background investigations

  • Finding witnesses or heirs

  • Locating former tenants or employees


How Does Skip Tracing Work?


We use a combination of data sources, investigative tools, and real-world tactics to locate individuals, including:

  • Public and proprietary databases

  • Social media and digital footprints

  • Address history and utility records

  • Property ownership and vehicle records

  • Credit header and change-of-address info


Our trained team evaluates leads, verifies identity, and confirms current addresses to ensure accurate and lawful location results.
