The Delaware court researchers behind the national screening companies.
When the nation's largest background screening platforms need a Delaware criminal record verified, the search doesn't go to a database. It comes to us. A woman-owned, woman-run, family-run team that is physically in Delaware's courthouses every day — pulling, reading and verifying records at the source.
Accuracy you can put your name on. Speed your clients expect.
A screening report is only as good as its weakest county. Delaware is a small state with three counties, four trial courts and its own way of doing things — and we have spent nearly three decades inside those clerk's offices. We know which index drops middle names, which court still runs on paper, and which "possible record" is really a different person with the same birthday.
That local knowledge is why consumer reporting agencies, wholesale research providers and employment screeners route their Delaware volume to us. We return clean, defensible results fast — and when a record exists, we pull the disposition and report exactly what the court shows. Nothing inferred, nothing padded.
FCRA compliant
Identifier-matched, disposition-verified, reported to FCRA accuracy and completeness standards. Adverse results are double-checked before release.
Fast TAT
Clear searches typically same or next business day; most results within 24–48 hours. Possible hits are flagged the moment we see them.
In court, in person
No runners, no outsourced data vendors. Our researchers hand-search the courthouse public access terminal — the full statewide court index, not a stale database copy. Case files pulled on request.
Volume pricing
Competitive per-search rates for bulk and wholesale clients. No setup fees, no minimums, no surprise surcharges.
What we search
Every Delaware court of record, every county — plus the statewide and federal layers your reports need.
Multi-state research firms cover Delaware from somewhere else. We cover it from here.
Plenty of companies list Delaware on a coverage map. Very few are actually in Georgetown, Dover and Wilmington every week. We are — and it shows in the hit rate, the turnaround and the dispositions that come back complete the first time.
Woman-owned. Woman-run. Family-run.
Founded by Kelly in 1997 and run today by a mother-and-daughter team, with additional family members — including military veterans — and long-time colleagues who may as well be family. We built this firm on reputation in Delaware's legal community, one accurate file at a time.
Boots on the ground.
We are not a call center with a coverage map. We are the people at the counter, in the file room and at the terminal — the same ones who serve process and pull records for Delaware attorneys.
Reliable at scale.
Bulk daily batches, integrated delivery, consistent formatting and the same verification standard on search 1 and search 1,000. Built for CRAs and wholesale providers.

Questions screening teams ask
Who do you perform criminal record research for?+
National consumer reporting agencies, background screening platforms, wholesale research providers and employers who need Delaware county and state criminal records verified at the source. We work as the local, boots-on-the-ground court researcher behind your reports.
Is your research FCRA compliant?+
Yes. Every record is verified directly on the court's public access terminal, matched on identifiers and reported with the completeness and accuracy the FCRA requires. We do not report what we have not seen.
What is your turnaround time?+
Most Delaware criminal searches are returned within 24–48 hours; many the same business day. Clear results are typically faster, and we flag possible records immediately so your team is never waiting on a surprise.
Do you offer volume pricing?+
We do. High-volume and wholesale clients receive competitive per-search pricing with no setup fees, no minimums, and the same turnaround standards regardless of volume.
Which Delaware courts do you cover?+
Superior Court and the Court of Common Pleas in New Castle, Kent and Sussex Counties, plus the public side of Family Court and a statewide repository check. The Delaware sex offender registry and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware are available on request. Justice of the Peace Courts have no public database and are not part of a standard search.
