01. Overview
Find them. Confirm them. Then plan the next step.
Witnesses move, change jobs, and lose touch with the people who knew them. Former employees leave without forwarding details. Parties to a dispute can be hard to serve or contact.
TJS Private Investigations, based in Houston, Texas, conducts witness locates for law firms and for individuals involved in legal matters. We research available records, confirm that we have the right person, and verify current contact details before reporting them.
Situations where a witness locate can help:
- Finding an eyewitness to an accident or incident
- Locating former employees in an employment dispute
- Reaching a party who has moved since the events
- Confirming contact details before a deposition
- Locating a witness named in an old report or file
- Verifying the identity of someone with a common name
- Supporting an individual preparing a claim with counsel
02. Capabilities

03. Our Investigators
Accurate work that holds up to scrutiny.
In a legal matter, a wrong address or a mistaken identity wastes time and can create problems later. With more than 17 years of investigative experience, our investigators confirm each witness through more than one source and document how the match was made.
When a matter calls for contact, we follow counsel’s direction on approach and timing. Witnesses are free to decline to speak with us, and we respect that choice. We do not pressure, mislead, or misrepresent who we are.
04. What Clients Receive
Details you can act on.
Depending on the assignment and the information available, your report may include:
- Confirmed current address and contact details
- How the witness’s identity was verified
- Sources researched and leads followed
- Results of any field confirmation
- Notes from any contact made at counsel’s direction
- A statement, where one was lawfully obtained
- Unresolved leads and suggested next steps
Some witnesses cannot be found or choose not to cooperate. We explain what was checked and what, if anything, remains possible.
