Background Investigations
While we all wish we lived in a world free of deceit, bad behavior, poor
decision-making, and wrongdoing, we don’t.
Our world is unfortunately filled with problems that reach into
both our personal and professional lives.
To trust another human being is difficult enough.
To blindly trust another human being, especially your spouse, is
another matter altogether. This is why we conduct background
investigations, to give our clients peace of mind and a level of
protection that wasn’t there before.
There are many areas of life in which a background investigation can be
extremely helpful to you.
You may be checking on your nanny for your children, a caregiver for
your aging parent, or an individual to clean your home or provide yard
services.
Perhaps you have found a significant other through a dating site, but
before taking your relationship to the next level, you want to make sure
you are protecting yourself and your financial assets from potential
nefarious motives.
Professionally, you might be interested in buying a business, investing,
or finding a business partner who will help make or break your budding
business. Maybe you’re an
employer who needs periodic background checks performed on applicants
for various positions within your company.
Background investigations for business purposes carry a host of
legitimate reasons for taking great care in this arena.
Many sources estimate that at least 50% of the population lie on
their resumes. In addition
to this staggering figure, approximately 50% of all references that are
checked also contain inaccurate information.
So it’s not enough to blindly give your job candidates the
benefit of the doubt and trust their every claim.
It’s so important to conduct thorough background investigations
to protect the safety of you, your employees, and your customers.
It’s important to protect your financials from potential theft.
Background checks ensure applicants can do what they claim they
can do and are who they claim to be.
When news breaks that your CEO never actually graduated college,
the negative press will hurt your company’s reputation as well.
So as you can see, we provide background investigation services for
family law clients and businesses for many reasons.
We additionally provide valuable information to your attorney who
needs to prove or disprove a person’s honesty or credibility for
litigation purposes. For
individuals, we can even provide background information after a
problem has occurred or the red flags have started popping up.
We often provide information that can be used to right a wrong
and rectify a situation before it gets completely out of hand.
Our background investigations are not just a one size fits all template
for our clients. We provide
tailored investigations for both personal background purposes and
business needs. As stated
previously, there are many uses for background investigations,
especially during the time in which we now live.
People meet people through social media, dating sites, and other
technology-based mediums.
Some businesses are increasingly hiring employees who don’t live in the
same town, state, or country where the business is located.
Other businesses don’t even have a physical location, but instead
have a web presence that is maintained by employees all over the globe.
Times have certainly changed.
With these changes, the need for thorough and reliable background
investigations has dramatically increased.
We are no longer people who stay in one place and maintain the
same job, neighbors, and friends for life.
Because of our increasingly nomadic lifestyles and relationships
we cultivate through a computer screen or handheld device, the
importance of background investigations in family law cases has
skyrocketed. Also, changing
factors in the workplace have exaggerated the need for employers to
protect themselves, other employees, and their businesses by performing
accurate and timely background investigations on prospective employees.
A broad spectrum of our background services includes an extensive list
of both public records and confidential database searches.
The following is not an exhaustive list, but does give an array
of the services we typically provide for our background investigations:
