These days, it seems like finding people should be as simple as a Google search. But the truth is, while some sites are now making you pay for simple information, other sites are unreliable. The only way to be sure you have truly accurate information when trying to locate a person is doing a search beyond the web. That is where a Private Investigator comes into play.
Mass Tort Attorneys can utilize Private Investigators when trying to find a person while building a case. PI’s are not your typical “People Finder Instant Search” online database that contains old and possibly inaccurate information. They find the here and now. The most up-to-date location of a person.
Hiring a PI to locate someone is a great way to save time while ensuring you have correct information. It can save you from having to verify any information you find online by providing you with factual information right off the bat.
Beyond finding a person’s location, a Private Investigator will also supply you with up-to-date phone numbers and addresses that they find during their search. This information will save you valuable time when building your case.
Finding accurate information can take a Private Investigator as little as two hours, so this is not a long and drawn out process. Keep in mind that every case and every person is different, but it is not uncommon to receive your information quickly.
We notice that those hiding from the laws and even creditors tend to be harder to locate, so if the person in question has a criminal history, is currently hiding, and/or has collectors after them, that may make the process take longer.
It is important to remember that finding locations of a person for questioning and/or building a case is much different than the steps taken when searching for missing children or birth parents. That is a completely different approach.
