Background Checks
Know more before you commit.
A name, a profile, or a convincing story doesn’t give you the full picture. TJS investigates relevant records, checks the details, and helps you assess who you’re dealing with.

01. Overview
Important decisions deserve a closer look.
When you’re considering a relationship, business partnership, or financial commitment, unanswered questions can carry real consequences.
TJS Private Investigations conducts background research tailored to your concerns. We examine relevant records, compare information across sources, and identify discrepancies that deserve attention.
We explain what we found, what we could verify, and where the available information leaves gaps.
Common reasons clients request background research:
- Assessing a prospective business partner
- Conducting due diligence before an investment
- Checking concerns about a new relationship
- Verifying someone’s identity or stated history
- Researching business affiliations and credentials
- Supporting an attorney’s investigation
- Discussing employment or tenant screening needs
For employment and tenant screening, tell us the intended use first so we can determine the appropriate process and requirements.
02. Capabilities
Look beyond the first search result.
Identity Research
Compare identifying details to help distinguish the correct person from others with similar names.
Address History
Research available address records and connections to relevant locations.
Court Record Research
Review accessible civil and criminal court records, noting case status and available outcomes.
Business Affiliations
Identify relevant company ownership, management roles, and business connections found in available records.
Credential Verification
Check stated professional licenses or credentials with relevant sources where available.
Public Financial Records
Research relevant judgments, liens, and bankruptcy filings within the agreed scope.
Findings and Analysis
Organize the research into a report that separates confirmed information, discrepancies, and unresolved questions.
03. Resources
Understand what to check and why.
Explore practical guidance on background investigations, verification, and the limits of available records.
04. Our Investigators
Knowing where to look is only the beginning.
A useful background investigation requires careful matching, source evaluation, and attention to context. A record associated with a similar name should never be treated as a confirmed finding without further review.
With more than 17 years of investigative experience, TJS brings persistence and sound judgment to research involving individuals, businesses, and legal matters.
We examine the details, flag inconsistencies, and explain the limits of what the records establish.
05. What Clients Receive
An organized account of the findings.
Depending on the purpose, scope, and available records, your report may include:
- Identity-related findings
- Available address history
- Relevant court records and case outcomes
- Business affiliations
- Professional license information
- Relevant judgments, liens, or bankruptcy filings
- Source references and verification notes
- A summary of discrepancies and research limitations
Your report reflects the sources researched and information available at the time. It is not a guarantee that every record or relevant fact has been located.

08. Frequently Asked Questions
Know what the research can establish.
1. Are background investigations confidential?
We handle your information discreetly. Some assignments may require consent, verification requests, or contact with third parties. We discuss those steps when defining the scope.
2. How long does a background investigation take?
Timing depends on the locations, sources, and verification required. We discuss an estimated timeframe before work begins and communicate any delays.
3. What information can a background check reveal?
Depending on the assignment, it may identify relevant court records, business connections, credentials, address information, or public financial filings. Availability varies by source and location.
4. How is this different from an online search?
An online search can provide leads. A professional investigation adds targeted research, identity matching, source review, and context to help assess those leads.
5. What if nothing is found?
We explain which sources were checked and their limitations. No findings in the researched sources does not establish that no relevant information exists elsewhere.
