How to Find a Witness, Heir, Client, Family Member, Friend or Lost Love

There are basically two types of locates behind the various reasons to request them: 1) An attorney who needs to find a witness for a case, an heir to an estate or their own Client. How does an Attorney lose contact with a Client? Civil and Criminal cases can take months or even years for a court date and it is the responsibility of the Attorney’s Client to provide current contact information.
