Merlin a Top Data Source for Process Servers and Private Investigators

August 17, 2010  |  by ServeNow.com Staff  |  Technology

If you’re looking for information about a person, chances are that Merlin Information Services can help you find it. Merlin has been a respected data provider for almost 20 years, and the company’s services and resources have long benefited process servers and private investigators around the country.

Merlin President Michael Dores founded Merlin in 1991 while he was a California private investigator. He started the company by selling CD-ROM discs containing public records and, thanks to the advent of the internet, gradually transitioned to an online format. Dores maintains a close hands-on relationship with the technology and business aspects of Merlin, and you just might have seen him representing the company if you have attended an industry conference over the last few years.

Through the hard work of Dores and his employees, Merlin Information Services has grown into a widely used resource for many process servers, private investigators, collection agencies, law enforcement agencies and others when they need hard-to-find data. Merlin’s proprietary databases, online access to public records, skip-tracing services and batching services give customers speedy access to the accurate historic and current data they require.

Marketing Coordinator Katie Fries said Merlin prides itself on delivering vital information quickly to customers whether they’re doing their own search or enlisting Merlin’s help.

“It’s instantaneous if you’re searching online yourself, or, if resources are limited, you can hire Merlin skip-tracers to do it for you. We understand that obtaining the right address the first time is vital to quickly and effectively serving process,” she said.

According to Fries, Merlin’s value to customers is only going to grow as the company expands its capabilities.

“Merlin has been really active in pursuing data sources for private investigators and process servers for many years. We’ve brought a lot of best-in-class services to those industries. Our most recent push has been bringing all of the services to one place so they don’t have to use multiple providers,” Fries said.
