Skaggs & Associates Changes Their Name to ResultQuest®
Last year our firm, formerly known as Skaggs & Associates, Inc., began working to implement a new brand that reflects our distinct character and philosophy. This new branding culminated in our most dramatic change, thus far-our name. Our new name, ResultQuest®, reflects our steadfast dedication to a diligent pursuit of information that benefits our clients. As we developed the vision for our new brand, a new motto was also adopted, "Achieve a Superior Position." To us, the name and motto signify our core principle of helping our clients to prevail.
 
In the Spring of 2015, ResultQuest® relocated its offices to The Woodlands region of South Montgomery County, which is among the fastest growing areas in the nation. Additionally, the ResultQuest® website, www.resultquestinc.com, was launched earlier this year.
 
ResultQuest® is committed to an outcome that adds value to the client's case, carried out in a manner that reflects the highest level of integrity, reliability, and professionalism.

Failure to demonstrate appropriate and untainted licensing can destroy your case. ResultQuest® is a licensed firm, in good standing, with no complaints or enforcement actions.
 
Insurance
Many states require only a minimal amount of liability insurance for investigation companies. Does your investigations firm carry an adequate amount of coverage for the assigned task? Does it include protection for errors and omissions? Do not hesitate to request a copy of the certificate of insurance. It is better to know beforehand than to be surprised in the event of a legal claim by the party being investigated. ResultQuest® carries liability insurance that exceeds the minimum legal limits and includes errors and omissions.
 
Experience
Is your investigator capable of understanding and intelligently addressing the matter at hand? Complex tasks require astute comprehension and a level of experience necessary to clearly analyze the issue, and to formulate and execute an effective investigative strategy. Further, the strategy must be
