Navigating this as a survivor of abuse or institutional betrayal? Advocacy & Institutional Navigation may be the better starting point.
Court records, corporate filings, property databases, licensing boards, news archives. The public record holds far more than most people expect, and nearly all of it is free. The barrier was never access. It is knowing where to look, how to confirm that what you found is real, and how to write down where it came from so the work survives someone checking it.
That is a teachable skill, and I would rather teach it than rent it to you. A newsroom that can run its own records checks is faster and cheaper than one that outsources them. A legal team that understands what a docket search can and cannot establish asks better questions. The goal is that you stop needing me.
The Other Direction
The same public record holds you. Your address, your relatives, your phone number, your prior addresses, your employer, your court history, assembled and resold by data brokers you have never heard of and never agreed to.
For most people that is a nuisance. For someone being pursued, it is a map. The self-audit and footprint reduction work exists for that person: we find what is exposed, and then we take it down, one broker and one account at a time. You learn the process, because the brokers repopulate and you will need to do it again without me.
What I Do Not Do
I do not run investigations for clients. I am not a licensed private detective, and I do not accept work that involves researching a third party on someone else’s behalf. If that is what you need, you need a licensed investigator, and I will say so on the intro call rather than waste your time.
The reason for the boundary is not only regulatory. The techniques that let a journalist verify a source are the same techniques that let an abuser find someone who moved. I screen every engagement for that, and I decline work whose purpose I cannot establish. A person asking to be taught how to locate someone specific is not a training client.
