Skip Tracing Services in New York State

What Skip Tracing Is and How It Works

Skip tracing is the professional process of locating a person who has become difficult to find. The term comes from the idea of finding someone who has "skipped" town, but in practice it covers anyone whose current whereabouts are unknown: a debtor who stopped responding, a former tenant who left no forwarding address, a defendant who needs to be served, or a witness whose testimony a case depends on.

A licensed skip trace is not a people-search website. Consumer lookup sites resell scraped, unverified data that is often years out of date. A professional skip trace combines investigative-grade databases, public and court records, postal change-of-address research, motor vehicle records where legally permitted, and open-source intelligence, then applies human analysis to confirm the result. The goal is a verified current address, not a list of stale possibilities.

Who Uses Skip Tracing Services

Easton Secure Solutions LLC works regularly with:

• Attorneys and law firms who need to locate defendants, witnesses, or parties to serve process or advance litigation
• Landlords and property managers seeking former tenants for collections, recovery, or legal action
• Creditors and small-claims plaintiffs pursuing debtors for civil recovery or post-judgment enforcement
• Estate and probate attorneys locating missing heirs and beneficiaries for Surrogate's Court matters
• Private clients with a lawful need to locate someone whose contact information has gone cold

Every engagement is handled discreetly, and results are delivered in a written report suitable for legal filings or enforcement.

Skip Tracing Throughout New York and Nationwide

Easton Secure Solutions provides skip tracing across all of New York State, including Long Island, the five boroughs of New York City, and counties statewide. Local knowledge of New York courts, records, and procedures makes a measurable difference when a result needs to hold up for service or filing.

Skip tracing is also accepted nationwide through professional digital investigation and records research. Because a skip trace draws on national databases and records rather than physical presence, a subject can be located in any state. Out-of-state attorneys, creditors, and agencies who need a person found, whether that person is in New York or anywhere else in the country, can engage Easton Secure Solutions remotely, with the same verified, documented results.
