That's probably not a bad idea, you may be on to something there! I wonder if you could sell that idea somehow.

Great news OP!

Their lawyer is representing them. (the employer). YOU need your own lawyer protecting YOUR interests.

The issue is that anyone can access it with a credit card, which means there are practically no controls in place to make sure that the data provided is actually the John Smith you're looking for....and not his son, John Smith II, or a John Smith that happened to live at the same address ten years prior, and that it is complete, etc. PIs have access to databases that are far more accurate- and when dealing with a court case involving yourself/job/reputation/background, you don't want to take chances on "good enough".

COPS meets Romper Room?

I got word that the charges will be dismissed by the DA due to "no possibility of conviction". He finally watched video of the entire event with my attorney and said, "That's it?" then rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Only took 5 months to get it over with, but at least it's over. Sheesh.

Great news!

What were the circumstances behind the incident? Sounds like someone wanting a payday.

Missed this at the time, but good to hear GG. [Beer]
I’ve been sued myself (different circumstances, but eventually tossed) and it is sort of a stressful eyeroller.

Good news for sure. Congrats!
