FINDING YOUR CLIENT’S CLIENT

August 15, 2025 by Steven Mason

FINDING YOUR CLIENT’S CLIENT Believe it or not, a common request from law firms is to help the firm find their lost client. There are many reasons why a law firm loses contact with their client. I find that most often the firm’s client simply moved or had a change in phone number and forgot […]

IDENTIFYING WHO OWNS A FRANCHISE LOCATION – WORKFLOW IDEA

February 20, 2025 by Steven Mason

I had the recent challenge of assisting an attorney with identifying the owner of a franchise at a specific location after their legal team was not able to do so.

This is because there is no source for a “nationwide” traffic violation search. A driving history background investigation can play a pivotal […]

October 31, 2024 by Steven Mason
