What is the concept of judicial records?
When it comes to investigating judicial records, private detectives are not authorized to access criminal records. Only duly authorized individuals have access to these secured data. Nevertheless, a wealth of information can be accessed from open sources, and some court decisions are made public.
Who is Authorized to Initiate an Investigation for Judicial Records Information?
Individuals or companies can legally gather evidence. For example, an investigator can find information about a company that has had previous legal issues, a manager who frequently scams partners, or a seemingly perfect son-in-law who hides involvement in frauds. (See also “Fake Professional Background” and “The Private Detective: A Valuable Asset for Due Diligence“).
What are the Detective's Options in a Case Involving Judicial Records?
First and foremost, private detectives do not have the same capabilities as police officers or gendarmes, nor the same rights as lawyers. An investigator’s skill lies in uncovering information through:
- The search for legally accessible court decisions.
- The collection of testimonies.
- The analysis of press articles.
Why Hire a Private Detective to Find Probative Evidence Related to Legal Issues?
Hiring a private detective to investigate someone’s judicial records can be very beneficial. This can, for instance, provide new elements for an ongoing or upcoming trial, help in making informed decisions before entering into a business partnership or marriage, or simply provide peace of mind when facing significant doubts.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Detective to Find Evidence of Judicial Records?
The cost depends on the resources used to conduct the investigation. It will be proportional to the stakes, the time spent, and the expenses incurred. Generally, we offer 20-hour research and verification packages for such cases.
When we need to travel abroad, travel expenses are billed at actual cost to support our investigations. We also have international investigator colleagues who act as our local liaisons (see “Rates“).
