Sacramento isn’t just the state capital—it’s also home to one of the busiest corporate registered-agent corridors in California. Every day, thousands of business entities rely on Sacramento-based agents to receive legal documents on their behalf. For law firms, timing matters, accuracy matters, and experience matters. At Rush Intel, we’re in these buildings daily. We know their check-in procedures, the staff who sign for documents, and the nuances that can make the difference

Introduction: A Turning Point for Rideshare Injury Litigation Uber’s RICO Lawsuits: What Los Angeles Personal Injury Firms Must Know in...

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a stack of unresolved cases simply because a defendant or witness couldn’t be located, you’re not alone. Many attorneys and support staff turn to popular people-search websites hoping for quick results, only to find themselves back at square one—delays mounting, clients waiting, and case deadlines creeping closer.   After over a decade in investigations and OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence), I’ve seen this pattern play out time and agai

Witness statements can play an extremely important part in telling the details of a particular event. Often times this is the only evidence available after an incident such as a slip and fall, assault, and in motor vehicle accidents where the police were not present. COVID 19 has certainly complicated taking statements in situations where you lack contact information about the witness or that information has changed. For instance, if an accident happened at the workplace and

When most people think about background checks, they tend to think about a check of the criminal history for a particular person. This of course is something you would want to know. However, especially in cases where no criminal history is present, we find social media can play a huge role in determining the character of your subject. For years now, we have always looked for the social media accounts of our subjects, and in many cases, solved cases entirely from the informa

Information has always been valuable; however, in a digital age Information has become the most valuable commodity. Social media has made our personal data it's stock and trade and nothing could be more relevant in Judgment Enforcement. Two-thirds of judgments are never collected on meaning that there is so much money left out there on the table. Information is the most valuable indicator of the collectability of a judgment. Information also plays a crucial role in Mediation.

As we get to know our clients, we find that many of the law firms we work with have judgments against several defendants that have been placed on " the back burner ." These are judgments which the defendant has not paid and there may be one or more roadblocks that have popped up and have prevented the collection of the funds owed. This not only hurts the client, as they are not receiving funds to which they are entitled for injuries or other problems, but for law firms that

We are hearing about more firms choosing to work remotely during this time of the coronavirus. Our team has been able to work on collaborative projects from remote and field offices for many years now. We have tried and tested many tools to help keep us organized and thought we might share them here for law firms trying this for the first time. We use the following software to keep us organized across multiple locations, and most of them have free versions or trials to keep

Litigation can be tricky when dealing with wealthy individuals who have great accountants who know how to hide their money and assets, but this can become even trickier when you have a large corporation that has an army of accountants and a large law firm at their disposal. Hiding assets has become the new American Way. Shell companies, offshore holdings, DBA’s listed to LLCs owned by Nevada corps with shelved companies are some of the ways companies hide their assets from bo

After Mondays Caucuses have ended, many new questions are arising as to the security of America's Election System. We are all too familiar with the disaster that was the 2016 election. More specifically, Russia’s attempt to sway our minds through the use of Social Media via the company Cambridge Analytica. But now we are in 2020 and we are much wiser as to the manufactured consent that is created by outside forces, or are we? If anything, Mondays Iowa’s Caucus have shown us t

If you have been paying attention to the news you may have seen the story of how a Chinese Woman was arrested at the Mar-a Lago Resort, carrying 4 cell phones, a laptop, several sim cards, and a thumb drive with "malicious" software. Times have changed in regards to Tradecraft. James Bond no longer needs a Gun, an exploding pen, and a DB9 to take down government resources. A thumb drive is more dangerous these days than Seal team 6 at your front door. How dangerous is a t
