Pre-Judgment Intelligence: Identify All Liable Parties With Thorough Background Research
Build Your Case on a Solid Foundation
In litigation, the strength of your case is determined before you ever step into a courtroom.
Success often depends on identifying, naming, and serving every liable party from the outset.
Missing a key defendant—whether an individual or a related business entity—can limit your legal options and potential for recovery.
Our background research service is designed specifically for pre-judgment application.
We provide the critical intelligence attorneys need to build a robust case, ensuring all potential defendants are accounted for.
