40%
of the Time, You Have a Bad Address
Baltimore City’s dense population and high tenant turnover mean bad addresses are common. People move frequently between neighborhoods, and listed addresses go stale fast. When an address doesn’t work, most process servers stop. We don’t. Legal Papers Inc. skip tracers get to work finding your defendant: manually, personally, and thoroughly., personally, and thoroughly.
Skip Tracing Services
Can’t Find Them? Legal Papers Can.
We are experts at finding home and employment addresses. In this digital age, information is quickly transferred and easily computerized, but automated reports don’t guarantee a valid address. 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. All reports are personally and manually researched to confirm addresses and places of employment. We never guess or rely on “possible” locations.
Locate individuals through vehicle registration records.
Basic Skip Trace – Home Address

Extensive Skip Trace – Employment Database Search
A combined search using the Social Security Number Scan to locate current home address, place of employment, and banking information for summons and wage garnishments.
