Civil records
County civil court research.
Suits, judgments and liens — the filings that a criminal search alone will never surface.

02 · What we return
Every field on the file.
Case number
As recorded by the court.
Parties
Plaintiff and defendant as filed.
Case type
Court’s own classification, not a normalised label of ours.
Amount
Where the court records a claim or judgment amount.
Status
Open, satisfied, dismissed, or as otherwise recorded.
Filing date
Used for date-range scoping.
03 · How it is handled
The same five stages, every time.
Every file — regardless of search type, jurisdiction, or volume — moves through the same documented sequence, including an independent second review before anything is released to you.
04 · Coverage
Where this search is available.

05 · Exclusions and limits
What this search will not do.
- Small-claims and limited-jurisdiction coverage varies by county and is confirmed per jurisdiction before an order proceeds.
- Federal civil matters are not included in a county civil search.
- We report the record as filed. We do not assess merit, relevance, or reportability — that judgement belongs to you as the CRA.
- Court access fees, where charged, are quoted before the order proceeds.
