What We Do For Counsel

Four kinds of work attorneys bring us.

Litigation support

Fact investigation, background on parties and witnesses, and research for active matters, reported in writing for your review.

Witness and asset locates

Finding witnesses, parties, and heirs, and identifying assets for judgment, settlement, or collection strategy, through lawful sources.

Background and due diligence

Individuals, counterparties, and businesses, ahead of a transaction, a hire, a filing, or a deposition.

Threat assessments for clients and firms

When a client, an attorney, or the office receives threats or unwanted contact: an assessment, a written plan, and protection if it is needed.

Trial & Matter Security

Security for the trial team, witnesses and clients.

For high-conflict and high-profile matters, where a party, a witness or counsel has become a target. Scoped on the 15-minute call and in place before the next hearing.
