In today’s fast-paced and highly regulated environment, criminal record checks have become an essential tool for organizations, legal professionals, and investors who need to make informed, compliant decisions. Whether it's hiring a new employee, vetting a business partner, or conducting due diligence in a legal or financial matter, having access to accurate and up-to-date criminal background information is crucial.

At Information Services Unlimited, Inc. (ISU), we specialize in comprehensive criminal record checks through skilled courthouse research and in-depth public record analysis. Since 1982, our team has assisted law firms, corporations, financial institutions, private investigators, and real estate investors in uncovering critical information that protects their interests and minimizes risk.

Why Criminal Record Checks Matter

Criminal record checks offer a detailed view of an individual’s history with the criminal justice system. These records can reveal charges, convictions, court outcomes, sentencing information, and more. For employers, this can mean identifying red flags before making a hiring decision. For legal professionals, it’s about strengthening cases with verified records. For financial institutions and investors, it’s about mitigating fraud and compliance risks.

Failing to perform a thorough criminal background check can lead to costly consequences — from internal theft and workplace liability to reputational damage and legal complications. ISU’s experienced research team ensures that your criminal record checks are thorough, reliable, and legally compliant.

Our Research Approach

Unlike many background check providers who rely solely on online databases, ISU takes a hands-on, courthouse-based approach. Our team accesses local, state, and federal court records directly from the source. This method ensures the highest level of accuracy and completeness, especially in jurisdictions where digital records are limited or incomplete.

We conduct both criminal and civil court searches, including felony and misdemeanor checks, pending cases, warrants, and other critical public records. Our reports are designed to be clear, actionable, and delivered within your required timeframe.

Who Benefits from Criminal Record Checks?

• Law Firms – Build stronger cases with verified court records and criminal background documentation.

• Employers and HR Teams – Make safer hiring decisions by screening job candidates for past offenses.

• Private Investigators – Gather essential background details for personal or corporate investigations.

• Financial Institutions – Protect your organization against fraud and enhance customer due diligence.

• Real Estate Investors – Avoid high-risk tenants, partners, or vendors with comprehensive background vetting.

Confidential, Accurate, and Compliant

At ISU, we understand the importance of confidentiality, accuracy, and compliance with local and federal regulations. Our team stays current with legal updates to ensure every criminal record check is conducted within the bounds of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other applicable laws.
