One Legal Locator: The ultimate tool for instant skip tracing

One Legal Person Business Locate Skip Tracing
Locator from One Legal goes beyond the surface and uses a massive database aggregated from thousands of sources to find people and businesses. Find out how it can help you in your serves.

Imagine this: You’re about to serve papers for a pivotal case for you and your client when you’re suddenly up against a brick wall. The defendant has moved, the business has restructured, or a key witness is nowhere to be found. The success of your case may hinge on what you do next.

Traditionally, you’d be looking at starting a skip trace — a process that requires finding and hiring an investigator, enduring long waits for results, and plenty of back-and-forth paperwork.

In the meantime, your case is floating in limbo. Now, with One Legal’s new Locator product, the game’s changed — you’re going from a waiting game to immediate action.

The shift to instant skip tracing

Our newest product isn’t just a feature but a fundamental shift. With do-it-yourself Instant Skip Tracing, control is in your hands:

  • Input what you know: Start with whatever information you have, whether a full name, last known address, or a business name.
  • Hit search and watch it work: Locator springs into action with a single click, analyzing data points across thousands of sources. Within moments, it returns a list of potential matches.
  • Review and refine: Examine the results, delve into additional details to narrow your search, and identify the precise individual or business service details you need.
  • Take action: Once you’ve pinpointed your target, take your next step, initiating a service of process order seamlessly.

Data with depth and breadth

Accurate, actionable information is the cornerstone of legal work. This is why Locator goes beyond the surface and uses a massive database, aggregated from thousands of sources, to pinpoint the most current address for your target.

To ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information, Locator searches a vast range of public databases simultaneously, including:

  • Court records: Covering civil and criminal cases from various jurisdictions.
  • Property and land records: From local government sources, detailing ownership and transactions.
  • Government databases: These include voter registrations and DMV records accessed in compliance with legal guidelines.
  • Professional and business records: Information on licenses, certifications, and business filings.

And we don’t stop there. Locator also leverages data from sources like USPS, information from utility companies, telecommunication records, online directories, social media, credit bureaus, and selected commercial data brokers. It’s a symphony of sources playing in unison to deliver one thing: the truth of someone’s whereabouts.

Why legal professionals can’t afford to skip this

In the legal field, skip tracing isn’t just a step — it’s the backbone of due diligence.
