What Is CourtCaseFinder.com?
CourtCaseFinder.com is a website that contains a searchable online database of US public court records.
The types of reports that can be found include:
- civil court cases
- criminal records
- property records
- traffic court records
It’s a one-stop-shop that allows its users to search and find court records by name, case number, address, phone, or emails.
Court records are available for all 50 states, making it a country wide resource for law enforcement, private investigators and legal teams.
While it serves as a valuable resource for legal research and background checks, its comprehensive coverage of sensitive legal and private information, also raises concerns about privacy and online reputation management.
CourtCaseFinder.com was first registered in April 2011.
How Does CourtCaseFinder.com Make Money?
CourtCaseFinder has a very simple way of making money: it charges users to view the records on it’s site.
A “7 days unlimited access” pass to look up as many court cases as you want costs $3.
After the seven days are up, you can continue to receive unlimited access to the court records database for $24 per month.
The advantage of this subscription model is the site has no advertising or sponsorships which can make viewing a site annoying.
The disadvantage, of course, is that you have to pay to view any records.
You also have to remember to cancel your membership, should you decide to join, in order to avoid ongoing monthly subscription charges.
Impact of CourtCaseFinder on Personal Reputation
The presence of court records in the public domain can significantly impact an individual’s personal reputation.
Once you’ve completed a nasty divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuit or worse, you’d probably like to move on with your life.
But if your court records are on CourtCaseFinder.com, the impact to your online reputation will be minimal because records are only made public to paying subscribers.
What this means is you won’t see your personal court records appearing in Google search results because they are hidden on the back end of the site.
The only way they can be viewed is if someone maintains an active subscription.
While public court records on other aggregators can be damaging to your reputation online, there appears to be little or no damage from public record records published on CourtCaseFinder.com.
The only way potential employers, potential partners, and the general public can see discover your past legal issues on this site is if they choose to subscribe.
However, you still might want to remove your court records from the site.
If you continue reading below, I’ll share the exact steps you can take to get your information removed.
