Skip Tracing for Legal Service
When an address is stale, incomplete, or repeatedly unsuccessful, PCA can coordinate a targeted skip trace to develop practical information for service. The purpose is not a generic data dump—it is to help determine where a lawful service attempt should occur next.
Why PCA
A useful trace should lead to an informed next step.
Repeated attendance at an outdated address wastes time and increases cost. A focused trace can identify current residential indicators, associated addresses, employment or corporate connections, and other information relevant to a service plan.
PCA connects the search to the underlying court file. We review the available information, communicate meaningful findings, and can move directly into service once a viable address or strategy is identified.

Frequently asked questions
Skip Tracing for Legal Service questions
How is skip tracing priced?
Pricing depends on the available identifiers, the depth of research required, and the relevant jurisdiction. The fee and likely deliverable are confirmed before work begins.
Is a successful result guaranteed?
No responsible provider can guarantee that every person can be located. The quality of available identifiers and records affects the result, and PCA explains material limitations.
Can PCA serve the person after locating them?
Yes. Integrating the trace with process serving is often the most efficient route because the findings can immediately inform the attendance plan.
