Actionable Background Intelligence for Family & Elder Law Cases

Protect your clients, strengthen your cases, and uncover the truth with affordable background reports designed for independent attorneys and small firms.

Why Background Reports Matter in Family & Elder Law

  • Divorce & Custody Cases → Verify income, uncover hidden assets, confirm or dispute claims of stability, and check for criminal history.
  • Caregiver & Elder Protection → Ensure caregivers, trustees, or new companions have no history of fraud, abuse, or exploitation.
  • Inheritance & Estate Matters → Confirm the integrity of heirs, executors, or those with access to a family estate.

How We Help

Background reports have become a practical, valuable tool in winning cases and protecting your clients.

  • How can background reports strengthen divorce or custody cases?

    Background reports uncover critical facts a spouse may try to hide — such as undisclosed property, business interests, or financial liabilities. They also reveal the history of new partners who may influence custody decisions (e.g., criminal records or substance abuse history).


    Example: A spouse claims limited income during divorce proceedings. A background report uncovers multiple business affiliations and property deeds in another county, strengthening your client’s financial claims.

  • Can background checks help verify or dispute caregiver suitability in elder care?

    Yes. Reports can confirm whether a caregiver, trustee, or “new companion” has a criminal background, prior abuse allegations, or financial red flags such as bankruptcies or liens. This information is essential in preventing elder exploitation.


    Example: A family suspects financial exploitation of their elderly parent. A background report shows the caregiver has multiple prior fraud-related charges — providing attorneys with the leverage to remove them legally.

  • Do these reports assist with inheritance or estate disputes?

    Absolutely. They can verify the integrity of heirs, executors, or anyone with financial control over estate assets. Reports reveal hidden assets, property transfers, or questionable financial activity that might affect distribution.


    Example: During a contested will case, a report shows an heir recently formed several LLCs tied to questionable financial dealings — supporting your argument for closer scrutiny.

  • How do reports improve courtroom credibility for clients?

    By fact-checking claims, reports allow attorneys to bring documented, third-party evidence into hearings. This not only strengthens legal arguments but also protects clients from false accusations.


    Example: In a custody dispute, one parent alleges the other is unsafe due to “criminal activity.” A background report shows no criminal history — clearing your client’s name quickly and convincingly.

  • What’s the benefit of using background intelligence early in a case?

    Early background checks give lawyers a full picture of opposing parties, caregivers, or heirs before filings escalate. This often leads to faster settlements, stronger negotiation leverage, or preventative measures to protect vulnerable clients.


    Example: Before filing a guardianship petition, an attorney runs a background check on competing petitioners. The report reveals one petitioner’s recent bankruptcy and elder neglect case — saving time, cost, and risk by narrowing viable candidates early.
