Exclusive Attorney Services. We provide the legal industry (attorneys and their law firms) a diverse and broad scope of legal support services that includes skip-trace, and confirmed locate services, probate, and estate discovery, pre-litigation support, asset search investigations for a bank, savings accounts, brokerage, stocks, and offshore accounts. Our diligent probate and estate discovery can assist the estate administrator or executor in finding missing or unknown bank accounts and assist in identifying insurance policies. As well as vetting new clients for creditworthiness, business credit reports, and nationwide asset search investigations. During discovery, pre-trial litigation services are typically used for fact-finding and critical analysis to formulate a strategic legal battle plan and post-judgment enforcement remedies. 

Whether you’re looking for a background search or a pre-litigation asset search, or you already have a civil judgment in place and need to find bank accounts, we can assist you. At Stryker, we bring the same persistent determination to go the extra mile if that’s what it takes to get you an equitable outcome. You won’t get lost in the shuffle with our firm because we provide individualized attention to each case and each person. Our consultations are free of charge, and this allows you an opportunity to talk to someone who understands your situation.

DUE DILIGENCE IN CIVIL LITIGATION

  • Due Diligence in Civil Litigation. Attorneys are required by law to investigate and prepare their client’s cases adequately, the process is known as “due diligence.” As such, due diligence is required in any legal case but can have different effects depending on the type of case. If you’re a personal injury attorney, a properly prepared case means you have performed your legal due diligence and conducted a pre-litigation asset search before accepting a settlement agreement. The attorney/client fiduciary relationship is arguably one of the most stringent. An attorney’s neglect of their responsibility to provide an adequate due diligence investigation could result in an unjust outcome. Consequently, the case may require a retrial to resolve the matter. Legal due diligence investigations take place in three stages: The first stage is preparation. The second stage is the investigation itself. The third stage is a professionally prepared report(s) of the investigation results.

  • During the investigation, a Private Investigator or team of legal investigators collect information, facts, evidence, and documents for your report.

Our comprehensive reports will include Social Security fraud scan for aliases or multiple users, the national database for business listings, civil history – judgments, liens, bankruptcy, statewide professional licenses, DMV – vehicle and watercraft (as allowed by law), FAA – aircraft, pilot licenses, debts, available employment information, previous or pending lawsuits, detailed report of all public records including, Real Estate records, deeds, liens on the property, businesses and their officers, litigation history, reported employment. We can also conduct a 5-year employment history verification and academic verification services, skip-trace and witness locate services at a verified address, interviews and recorded statements, background check, and other investigative services provided. We work directly with the law firms and their attorneys to conduct investigative services around a principal cause of action, mitigating factors, facts in issue, or unknown circumstances or conditions. Each investigation is tailored toward the unique needs of a particular client and designed on a case-by-case basis to uncover the evidence, locate the witness, or expose inconsistencies.

SKIP TRACE AND CONFIRMED LOCATE SERVICES. Our skip-trace services include two types of searches – SIMPLE DATABASE SKIP-TRACE  and our COMPLEX SKIP-TRACE. A simple database search can confirm a subject still resides at a given address.  For this type of search, our legal investigators will conduct a basic search of public records and online databases. Although this type of search is significantly cheaper, online sites openly state that “the information may be inaccurate and/or incomplete; that an individual can have their information removed from the site, and that the records may be unclear or confusing.”If you need accurate and verified address information, our complex skip-trace will utilize a much more in-depth analysis of resources that rely on confirmed (active) or ongoing accounts that will provide an “actionable” verified address of your subject’s current whereabouts.

DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATION FOR MERGERS

Stryker offers our legal clients a competitive advantage by providing high-quality data and the latest intelligence for the pre-transaction evaluation process. Thorough commercial due diligence can help strengthen a deal and have a positive impact on its success through the early identification of problems that may be mitigated ahead of closing. Stryker’s pre-transaction intelligence provides the information needed to drive confident decision-making, including mitigating risks associated with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and other financings as well as initial public offerings (IPOs).

  • An initial in-depth analysis of the potential target
  • Background investigations on corporate entities, including verification of business registration, review of legal and financial filings, and clarification of corporate structure (such as branches and affiliated companies)
  • Background investigations of corporate executives, including verification of career path and credentials and review of civil and criminal records
  • Research and analysis of the reputation of the company and its principals
  • Research and analysis related to possible FCPA issues to identify business connections of the company and its principals, including government links, directorships, or relevant family ties
  • Focus on company subsidiaries to avoid acquiring any legal issues or other problems along with the parent company

ASSET SEARCHES, JUDGMENT ENFORCEMENT & COLLECTION FEES

A complete asset search profile will identify bank, savings, and brokerage accounts, real property, businesses, corporate officers, business partners, equipment, due invoices, and other tangible assets that can be seized or garnished.  A Pre Judgment Writ of Attachment is an effective and often-used procedure to secure and preserve assets pending the final outcome of litigation over a commercial debt. Stryker can provide more in-depth and target-specific searches that look for proxy ownership and fraudulent conveyance in anticipation of a lawsuit. These services are typically used as part of pre-trial litigation to formulate a strategic battle plan that can be used as leverage during the course of negotiations or to determine whether a lawsuit is economically worth pursuing.

All enforcement techniques will involve locating the assets of the debtor, attaching the judgment as a lien on those assets, and then liquidating or selling those assets for cash to satisfy the judgment. The simplest method of identifying assets that will be attached is through debtor’s interrogatories during discovery. Post-litigation enforcement requires legal knowledge and expertise to enforce a judgment through attachments and foreclosures.  At Stryker, we aggressively employ our judgment enforcement methods, using every legal means available to attach/seize/garnish those assets to enforce your judgment collection.
