Criminal Records Searches (1-3 days average)

Our professional court researchers physically perform in-person searches at the courthouse. Our network of researchers covers all county court jurisdictions across the U.S., and will indicate if a subject has a felony or misdemeanor filing within the last seven years. Completed Reports consist of all available and legally reportable information, typically including date of arrest, date of filing, charges, level of the charges, disposition date and final disposition of the charges and any applicable sentence or penalty. County criminal searches are the most comprehensive records in our industry.
- Civil County Criminal Search(Lower)
Conducted at one lower court within a given county; typically at the county seat (if a specific lower court is required by the client, a surcharge will apply) Searches typically do not include small claims or family matters. Due to the lack of identifiers in lower court files, providing a middle name or initial and address is highly recommended. Marriage/divorce records are not yielded by this search.
- Civil County Criminal Search (Upper)
A county level civil case involves one or more plaintiffs filing a complaint against one or more defendants. Civil actions are typically classified by the amount of money sought by the plaintiff. These searches will yield information only for higher civil actions filed for more than a minimum claim amount established by the state. Civil actions do not typically list a subject's date of birth or social security number, and so are generally returned as possible matches only. Typical information yielded includes case type, claim amount sought, disposition and awards (if any). Marriage/divorce records are not yielded by this search.
- National Federal Civil District Search
This is a civil records search conducted at a single U.S. District Court within a federal judicial district. U.S. District Courts are trial courts for matters involving federal law. Many judicial districts contain more than one court location (division), but quite often the records for all locations are indexed and accessible from any court. File copied may/may not be available, as files are transferred to federal record centers after a certain period of time. If provided with a city or county, the proper judicial district can be determined for you.
