40%
of the Time, You Have a Bad Address
Anne Arundel County spans everything from dense Annapolis and Glen Burnie neighborhoods to waterfront communities and rural stretches near Crofton and Odenton. People move often, addresses go stale, and a PO box won’t work for service. Because of that, when an address fails, most process servers stop. We don’t. Instead, our skip tracers get to work finding your defendant: manually, personally, and thoroughly.
Skip Tracing Services in Anne Arundel County
Can’t Find Them? Legal Papers Can.
We are experts at finding home and employment addresses throughout Anne Arundel County. In this digital age, information is quickly transferred and easily computerized, but automated reports don’t guarantee a valid address. That’s why nothing beats our Human Touch: each account is worked individually, with manual searches conducted by real live skip tracers and phone calls made during prime hours including Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, all reports are personally and manually researched to confirm addresses and places of employment, so we never guess or rely on “possible” locations.
Whether a defendant has moved without a forwarding address, is actively avoiding service somewhere between Annapolis and Glen Burnie, or you simply need a confirmed current employer for a wage garnishment, our Anne Arundel County skip tracing team tracks down the people other searches miss.
