A County Civil history is a county level search that reports information about an applicant regarding their involvement in lawsuits, personal injury claims, tax liens, wrongful death claims and other litigious matters. A County Civil search differs from the County Criminal search in that the applicant can be either the plaintiff or the defendant.
Lawsuits can be filed against an applicant and they can be filed in any number of venues, including county of residence of plaintiff, county of residence of defendant, county of location of corporate headquarters of company (if suit involves one), county of location of any branch location of company, or any other venue stipulated in a contract if suit involves breach of contract.
Some mandated court fees may apply. We do not pad these fees. We simply pass them on to the client. Some counties are still “clerk assisted” in handling information and this may extend the turnaround time. Most County Civil searches are name only searches, with only a select few courts utilizing a Social Security Number (SSN).
NOT all records contain name, Social Security Number (SSN) and Date Of Birth (DOB). NOT all issues, regardless if they were dealt with in court or not, appear in this search.
