Pre-Litigation Research
Before you file anything, you need to know whether the fight is worth it.
Our Pre-Litigation Research service gives you a clear picture of a target’s financial reality—assets, liabilities, pressure points, and vulnerabilities—so you’re not walking into court blind.
We examine property holdings, corporate interests, digital footprints, banking patterns, prior litigation, and hidden relationships using the same forensic logic applied in complex financial investigations.
The result is a decisive early-stage assessment: Does this case justify litigation, settlement pressure, or a strategic walk-away?
By identifying collectible assets, fraudulent transfers, and likely evasion tactics before you spend a dollar on filing fees, we help you choose the path with the highest probability of recovery.
Probate Estate Research
Executors and estate administrators often inherit a mess of half-finished records, missing accounts, and unanswered questions.
Our Probate Estate Research service brings order to the chaos. We identify overlooked bank accounts, dormant financial assets, and safe-deposit relationships that never made it into the decedent’s paperwork.
We pull and analyze the decedent’s credit report to detect “estate leakage”—new debts, withdrawals, or insider activity that shouldn’t exist after death.
We track property transferred post-mortem, map who moved it and why, and determine whether those transfers hold up under scrutiny.
The end result is a clear, defensible picture of the estate’s true value—what exists, what’s missing, and what must be recovered before distribution.
Post-Judgment Recovery Research
Winning a judgment is the easy part—collecting it is where the real work begins.
Our Post-Judgment Research service identifies what the debtor owns, controls, or is quietly benefiting from today, not years ago when the lawsuit started.
We locate bank accounts, brokerage holdings, business interests, digital payment platforms, real estate equity, vehicles, and other attachable assets while monitoring for fresh activity that signals where money is moving.
We review updated credit reports to detect new credit lines, asset acquisitions, or suspicious depletion—classic signs of evasion or insider assistance.
We also examine recent property transfers, corporate filings, and financial behavior to map out pressure points and determine the fastest path to recovery.
The outcome is a tactical, data-driven enforcement plan that shows you where to strike, what to seize, and how to turn a paper judgment into real money.
Bankruptcy Asset Research
A bankruptcy filing doesn’t mean the debtor is broke—just that they’re claiming to be.
Our Bankruptcy Asset Research service digs beneath the schedules to determine what’s real, what’s missing, and what’s been shuffled out of sight. We analyze the petition, SOFA, exemptions, insider payments, and business interests to identify red flags and undisclosed value.
We cross-match court filings with bank records, property transfers, digital payment histories, corporate relationships, and credit report activity to catch assets that were moved, hidden, or quietly enjoyed after the filing date.
We also investigate possible post-petition acquisitions, inheritance rights, insurance proceeds, and trust distributions that trustees or creditors can pursue. (Interpretation.)
The result is a clear map of recoverable assets, potential fraud indicators, and actionable leads that help trustees, creditors, and litigators challenge bad-faith filings and recover what the estate is entitled to.
Divorce Financial Verification Research
Financial truth tends to get blurry during a divorce. Our Divorce Financial Verification Research service gives attorneys and clients a clear, documented view of what actually exists, what’s being concealed, and what needs to be preserved.
We verify income, assets, liabilities, business interests, and digital payment activity to test whether disclosures match reality.
We identify undisclosed bank accounts, brokerage holdings, peer-to-peer accounts, fintech and neobank accounts, cryptocurrency movement, and P2P transfers that commonly surface when one spouse tries to shrink their financial profile.
We review credit reports for hidden debt, suspicious spending, or insider credit account leakage, examine property transfers, corporate filings, and trust activity to detect attempts to reposition or dilute marital assets. We also track down forgotten insurance policies, retirement accounts, and prior financial statements that contradict current claims.
The end result is an evidence-backed financial picture that supports equitable division, challenges incomplete disclosures, and exposes any strategy built on concealment rather than compliance.
Sell Your Judgment, Lien, or Claim
If you’re tired of chasing a debtor, waiting on courts, or sinking time into an asset that refuses to pay, we provide a clean exit.
Our acquisition team buys judgments, liens, and enforceable claims so you can convert a stagnant asset into immediate cash.
We evaluate the debtor’s financial profile, asset exposure, and enforcement history to determine a fair market value—factoring in risk, time, collectability, and the likelihood of evasive behavior.
We also identify issues that may increase or decrease value: fraudulent transfers, hidden equity, successor liability, and whether post-judgment pressure points still exist.
If the numbers make sense, we purchase the asset and take on the enforcement risk ourselves, giving you closure while we handle the heavy lifting. (Note: pricing varies based on jurisdiction, debtor solvency, and documentation quality.)
