Background Checks
Background checks provide verified details about someone’s past, including legal, financial, and personal history
Why Background Checks Matter
Hiring a private investigator to conduct a background check can give you clarity and peace of mind when it matters most. Whether you’re dealing with a child custody investigation, hiring someone new, or entering a personal relationship, knowing the facts is crucial. A thorough background check includes a personal history report—a detailed look into someone’s criminal records, identity, past employment, and more. This helps you verify who someone truly is before making a big decision. Our team uses professional screening services and tools like public records searches to uncover information that isn’t always easy to find. From court documents to address histories, we deliver trusted insights that help protect you and your loved ones. When the stakes are high, assumptions aren’t enough.

Who Needs a Background Check?

What’s Included in a Background Check?
A background check typically includes a wide range of verified information to help you make informed decisions. This may involve a review of criminal records, identity verification, and address history to confirm a person’s background. It can also include employment and education history, credit checks (when applicable), and even a deep dive into digital footprints such as social media activity. Depending on your needs, a private investigator may also perform a public records search, look into civil litigation, or uncover hidden details relevant to a child custody investigation or other sensitive matters. Every report is tailored to provide accurate, comprehensive, and legally obtained insights.
