Los Angeles Private Investigators Specializing in Locating Hard-To-Find Individuals 

What do you do when you need to find someone – but that someone doesn’t want to be found?

A skip trace investigation is the answer

A skip trace is an investigation that traces people who have skipped town. Unlike a missing persons investigation, in which the subject’s disappearance may be voluntary or involuntary, a “skip” is seeking to vanish on purpose.

Nationwide Legal Investigations, a licensed California private investigation firm, offers a complete range of skip trace investigations. Our investigators employ extensive resources and years of experience to provide you with the best results possible when it comes to tracing your subject in California, elsewhere in the United States, or, through our network of international affiliates. Through public records searches, detective work and, if necessary, personal surveillance, our skip tracers are able to locate people who don’t want to be found. Finding a “skip” can be relatively straightforward, but it can also require the untangling of a web of false identities and dummy corporations.

Skips can be divided into three groups:

• accidental or unintentional skips (such as people who miss bill payments or suddenly move residences);
• frightened skips (such as people hiding from their creditors); and
• deliberate skips (such as persons who have engaged in fraud and are evading the law.)

Our skip trace investigations can locate all three varieties of skip.

If you believe that someone in your life, be it a business associate, debtor, tenant, or even a friend or relative has skipped town, the skip tracer services offered by Nationwide Legal Investigations will trace and locate them for you.
