Locate and Skip-Trace Investigations
When an individual, witness, former employee, debtor, beneficiary, or other party is difficult to locate, Horizon conducts professional locate research using investigative databases, address histories, public records, court filings, business records, and other reliable sources. Whenever reasonably possible, we work to verify current address information rather than simply reporting unconfirmed database results. The scope may range from confirming a likely current address to a more extensive investigation involving relatives, associates, employment indicators, property records, and field verification.
Public Records and Open Records Research
Government records can provide important information that is not available through commercial databases. Horizon assists with identifying the appropriate agency, preparing and tracking requests, reviewing responsive records, and documenting agency responses. Services may involve police and incident records, licensing information, inspection records, regulatory materials, government contracts, disciplinary records, and other lawfully available public information.
Courthouse and Document Retrieval
Horizon obtains court pleadings, orders, exhibits, docket materials, recorded instruments, agency records, and other documents needed for an investigation or legal matter. Retrieval may be completed online, through the clerk, or by a qualified local researcher. We confirm availability, likely cost, and expected turnaround whenever the request involves substantial copying, travel, or third-party expense.
Witness Location
Locating a witness often requires more than identifying an address. Horizon can develop current contact information, verify likely residence or employment indicators, identify appropriate contact channels, and document the sources supporting the locate. Contact or interview services can be added when authorized.
