Skip Tracing & Person Locates
Skip Tracing
Strategic, discreet skip tracing for attorneys, businesses, fiduciaries, and private clients who need to locate hard-to-find individuals, connected records, and actionable leads.
More than a basic locate
Royal Palm Investigations provides discreet, investigator-led skip tracing services for matters involving witness location, litigation support, collections strategy, family matters, background investigations, and other cases where finding the right person or confirming the right address matters.
In many matters, the goal is not just to find a current address. It is to build a reliable profile of where a subject may be, how they are connected, which records support the lead, and what information is actually useful for the client’s legal or strategic objective.

What this service involves
Skip tracing is an investigative process used to locate individuals who may be difficult to find, intentionally evasive, recently relocated, or otherwise disconnected from obvious contact points. Depending on the matter, this may involve address history analysis, public-record research, social media review, known associate development, phone and email indicators, business affiliations, and other lawful investigative methods.
At Royal Palm Investigations, skip tracing is approached as strategic location intelligence. We focus on developing reliable leads that can support witness interviews, service-related efforts, asset matters, legal preparation, and other investigative objectives.
