About Us

Verdict Resources, Inc. has one simple mission: to bring our clients reliable information, professionally delivered and legally obtained, at a competitive price point. When Larry Troxel started the firm in 1996, we adopted a motto then that still resonates today: Whatever it takes.

Verdict Resources serves small to middle market transactions, which is a segment that is under served. Our flat fee pricing is predictable, work product is consistent, and timing is quick, which ensures you are covered.
