Introduction:

Ever feel like someone just disappeared—no forwarding address, no digital trail, no answers? Whether it's a legal matter, a family concern, or a financial issue, not knowing where someone went can leave you feeling stuck.

That’s where skip tracing comes in. It’s not a guessing game or a social media rabbit hole—it’s a targeted, legal investigation process led by licensed professionals. At Easton Secure Solutions, we specialize in locating people throughout New York City and Long Island, using modern techniques rooted in experience, discretion, and results.

 
What Is Skip Tracing—and Why It Matters


Skip tracing is the process of locating someone who has intentionally or unintentionally become unreachable. They might be avoiding responsibilities, such as rent or legal action, or they may have simply dropped off the radar due to a move, job change, or personal reasons.

What sets professional skip tracing apart is accuracy. A licensed private investigator in New York has access to tools, databases, and knowledge that go far beyond a typical online search.

 
Who Uses Skip Tracing Services?
Skip tracing isn’t just for lawyers or debt collectors. If you’ve ever needed to find someone who isn’t responding or whose whereabouts are unknown, skip tracing might be exactly what you need. We frequently assist:

  • Attorneys trying to locate defendants, witnesses, or heirs
  • Landlords searching for tenants who broke their lease
  • Families hoping to reconnect with estranged relatives
  • Businesses performing due diligence or identity checks
  • Insurance companies verifying hard-to-reach policyholders
  • Individuals trying to locate biological family members

When done properly, skip tracing gives you verified, usable information—not speculation or outdated guesses.

 
How Skip Tracing Works in Today’s World


The digital age has changed everything. People no longer stay at one address, use the same phone number, or even maintain a stable online presence. Public directories are becoming less useful, and online search engines only scratch the surface.

At Easton Secure Solutions, we combine:

  • Phone and email tracing
  • Address history and utility record analysis
  • Open-source intelligence (OSINT)
  • Social media behavior tracking
  • Proprietary databases only available to licensed PIs
  • Selective facial recognition for identity cross-verification


This multi-layered strategy allows us to separate real leads from noise—and provide information you can trust.

 
Why Hire a Licensed Private Investigator in New York?


Here’s the truth: many skip tracing services online rely on outdated or unverified data—and some even operate outside legal bounds. In New York, skip tracing must be done by a licensed private investigator to ensure compliance with state laws and protect your rights.

At Easton Secure Solutions, we are fully licensed, insured, and committed to ethical investigations. That means your information is handled confidentially, and the results we provide are backed by documentation, cross-verification, and investigative integrity.

Skip tracing is more than just finding someone—it’s about doing it legally, discreetly, and effectively.

 
Real-World Results, No Gimmicks
Whether you're trying to serve legal papers, settle an estate, track down a debtor, or reconnect with someone important, we treat every case with urgency and respect. Our clients come to us for one reason: they need real answers. And that’s exactly what we deliver.

Instead of relying on assumptions or hiring an unverified online service, work with a licensed professional who understands the landscape of New York—and how to get results.

We don’t waste time. We don’t take shortcuts. And we don’t make promises we can’t keep.

 
Situations Where Skip Tracing Can Help
Here are just a few common cases where skip tracing makes a difference:

  • A law firm can’t find a defendant and needs to serve legal papers.
  • A property manager needs to recover unpaid rent from a tenant who disappeared.
  • A business owner wants to verify the legitimacy of a potential client.
  • A relative is looking for someone who’s gone off-grid after a family fallout.
  • An adoptee is seeking biological parents or siblings.


These aren’t just names on a screen. They’re real people who need to be found for real reasons—and we know how to make that happen.
