Pre-litigation Asset Search
Subject Matter Expert & Private Investigator Providing Investigations Tailored for Legal Professionals
Pre-litigation Asset Searches is a preemptive tactic used to search for property, income or revenue that may be seized should a judgment be obtained before filing suit or acquiring a business. Before filing a lawsuit, savvy attorneys conduct thorough pre-litigation asset searches to assess whether their potential recovery justifies the time, expense, and resources required for litigation. However, the foundation of any effective investigation begins with establishing the fundamental precursors: the Who, What, Where, and When.
Attorney-clients often lack complete information about potential defendants, requiring comprehensive subject development before asset searches can be effective. The Who, What, Where, and When provides the timeline. Stryker Investigations, Actionable Search Results from Private Investigator & Subject Matter Expert… The Asset Search Company!
Comprehensive Asset Discovery
Our experienced investigators utilize advanced search techniques and proprietary databases to locate both obvious and hidden assets. We examine banking relationships across multiple institutions, trace business ownership structures, identify real estate holdings nationwide, and uncover investment accounts that defendants might prefer to keep concealed. Additionally, we investigate income sources, including employment, business revenue, and passive income streams, that could support ongoing collection efforts.
The pre-litigation phase offers unique advantages for asset discovery. Defendants are typically unaware of impending legal action, meaning they haven’t yet had the opportunity to transfer, hide, or dissipate assets. This timing advantage allows our investigators to capture an accurate snapshot of the defendant’s true financial position before any defensive asset protection strategies are implemented.
THOROUGH PREPARATION PROVIDES YOU WITH A CLEAR ADVANTAGE. Experienced trial attorneys start the pretrial process by developing theories, getting information, securing evidence, and knowing the answer before asking the questions. Identifying and locating critical evidence and potential witnesses and securing credible testimony can make the difference between winning or losing a case.

Pre-litigation Asset Search
Business Pre-Litigation Due Diligence
Business pre-litigation asset searches serve dual purposes beyond traditional litigation preparation. These investigations provide essential due diligence for law firms considering business acquisitions or evaluating potential new clients. When contemplating a business purchase, our comprehensive financial investigations reveal the true asset base, outstanding liabilities, and operational cash flow that standard financial statements might not fully disclose.
For client vetting purposes, business pre-litigation searches help law firms assess creditworthiness and evaluate whether prospective clients possess sufficient assets to support legal fees and potential adverse judgments. This initial screening process protects firms from taking on clients who cannot fulfill their financial obligations, ensuring sustainable attorney-client relationships from the outset.
Our business investigations examine corporate structures, subsidiary relationships, commercial real estate holdings, equipment and inventory values, accounts receivable, and business banking relationships. We also analyze revenue streams, operating expenses, and existing debt obligations to provide a complete picture of business financial health. This intelligence serves as the critical starting point for major business decisions, whether entering litigation, making acquisitions, or establishing new client relationships.
Risk Mitigation and Strategic Planning
Pre-litigation asset searches serve as essential risk management tools for law firms and their clients. By understanding a defendant’s financial capacity upfront, you can make data-driven decisions about settlement negotiations, case acceptance, and resource allocation. Cases with limited recovery potential can be restructured or declined, while strong asset positions may support more aggressive litigation strategies or higher settlement demands.
Our detailed asset reports provide the foundation for developing comprehensive collection strategies. We identify the most vulnerable assets for potential seizure, highlight any existing liens or encumbrances that could affect recovery, and recommend optimal timing for various collection actions. This strategic intelligence transforms litigation from a hopeful pursuit into a calculated business decision with measurable success potential.
