A name in an old file may not lead to a current address. FSO Guard’s licensed investigators help locate people through lawful research and field checks. Our skip tracing services support legitimate cases in Miami, across Florida and beyond. We check leads before presenting them as confirmed locations.
Who we locate
- Defendants and respondents for service of process in civil, family and collection cases
- Witnesses for depositions and trial
- Debtors and judgment debtors, including their employers and assets; see asset searches
- Former tenants who left owing rent or damages
- Heirs and beneficiaries for probate and estate attorneys, title companies and unclaimed property
- Birth parents, adopted children and lost relatives
- Former business partners and people who owe on private loans
- Vehicle and vessel owners for repossession and recovery
- Old friends, classmates and military buddies
- Missing adults where police involvement is limited: coordinated with law enforcement

Database and records locate
Research starts with records we may lawfully access for the stated purpose. Sources can include court files, property records, business filings and open online material. We compare findings across sources rather than relying on a single database result.
Field verification
Field checks help establish whether an address is current. An investigator reviews lawful observations and available information. This can reduce wasted attempts by an attorney or process server.
Employment locates
Current employer identification for wage garnishment and judgment enforcement, through lawful sources.
Evasive defendants
Surveillance can help establish when a person may be found. We coordinate the findings with your certified process server.
International and cross-border locates
Cross-border cases may involve partner agencies abroad. Spanish- and Russian-speaking investigators assist with research involving Latin America, Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Heir and beneficiary searches
Heir searches use family-history research and records. Findings support probate, trust and unclaimed-property matters, with documentation for the court.
Tenant and applicant verification
Confirming identity, prior addresses and history of prospective tenants and buyers: see due diligence.
How it works
- Intake. Share the name, approximate age, last known address and reason for the search. Phones, vehicles, employers, relatives and photos may help distinguish the right person.
- Scope and fee. Standard locates may use a flat fee. Difficult or overseas cases need an estimate. No-find, no-fee terms apply only where specifically offered.
- Research. We compare records and leads. Field verification follows where the case requires it.
- Delivery. You receive the verified address and supporting findings through a secure channel. The report is prepared for the intended legal or professional use.
What we will not do
We do not accept searches intended to stalk or harass someone, or to evade a restraining order. We do not hack accounts or obtain records unlawfully. The purpose of the search must be legitimate and is checked before work starts.
