Background Investigations That Go Beyond the Database.
Source-verified records, court-confirmed findings, and investigator analysis — not automated data pulls.
What Sets an Investigative Background Report Apart
Most background check services pull data from aggregated databases that are months or years out of date. FactFinders goes to the source — courthouses, county recorders, licensing boards, and law enforcement agencies — to verify every finding directly.
Our reports are prepared by licensed investigators with decades of experience, not automated algorithms. Every report includes an investigator's analysis of the findings and their significance to your specific matter.
We serve law firms conducting due diligence, employers making critical hiring decisions, and individuals who need accurate, defensible information about someone in their lives.

Results From the Field
Anonymized examples from actual investigations. Client and subject details are withheld to protect confidentiality.
Prior inconsistent testimony uncovered before trial
A background investigation on an opposing expert witness identified sworn testimony from a prior case in which the expert had taken a directly contradictory position on the same methodology. Counsel used the finding during cross-examination to successfully challenge the expert's credibility before the jury.
Undisclosed litigation history discovered before partnership closing
Before finalizing a business partnership agreement, our client retained us to investigate the prospective partner. Our investigation revealed three prior civil judgments and an undisclosed bankruptcy — none of which had been disclosed during negotiations. The client withdrew from the transaction.
Criminal history identified on new partner in custody proceeding
In a custody modification proceeding, our background investigation on the opposing party's new partner identified a criminal history that had not been disclosed to the court. The finding was submitted as supporting evidence in the modification petition and was cited in the court's ruling.
All case examples are anonymized. Names, jurisdictions, and identifying details have been omitted or altered to protect client and subject confidentiality.
