Sometimes the only thing standing between you and what you are owed — a judgment, a testimony, an inheritance, a reunion — is an address. FSO Guard’s licensed investigators provide skip tracing and locate investigations in Miami, throughout Florida and beyond: lawful database research combined with the field verification that turns a database hit into a confirmed location.
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

Skip tracing services
Database and records locate
Licensed-investigator databases with permissible-purpose access, public records, court and property records, utility connections, vehicle registrations, professional licenses, corporate filings, social media and open sources — cross-checked, not just printed.
Field verification
An investigator confirms the address: observation, vehicles, mail, neighbors, building staff — so your process server, collector or attorney does not waste attempts on a stale address.
Employment locates
Current employer identification for wage garnishment and judgment enforcement, through lawful sources.
Evasive defendants
Surveillance to document when and where a person who dodges service can be found, and coordination with your certified process server.
International and cross-border locates
People who have moved to or from Latin America, Europe and the former Soviet Union — with Spanish- and Russian-speaking investigators and partner agencies abroad.
Heir and beneficiary searches
Genealogical and records research to locate heirs for probate, trusts and unclaimed property, 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 — what you know: full name, date of birth or age, last known address, phone, employer, vehicles, relatives, photos, and the purpose of the locate.
- Quote — flat fee for standard locates, estimate for difficult or international cases; no-find, no-fee where offered.
- Research and verification — database and records work, then field confirmation when required.
- Report — the verified address and supporting information, delivered securely, in a format your attorney or process server can use.
What we will not do
Locate a person for someone who has a restraining order against them, or where the purpose appears to be stalking or harassment; pretext banks or carriers; hack accounts; or obtain records unlawfully. Skip tracing is lawful and valuable when it serves a legitimate purpose, and we verify that purpose.
