We reserve the right to charge additional for extraordinary circumstances (for example, you need to search a common name like "John Smith" and you have no date of birth or social security number to enable us to do the search in a time effective manner).

Please note that we are not private investigators or detectives. We perform public records searches directly for members of the public except for the following (unless if you're an attorney who has delegated these tasks to us):

A crime or wrong done or threatened or assumed to have been done or threatened against the Government of the United States of America, or any State, Territory or Possession of the United States of America;

The identity, habits, conduct, movements, whereabouts, affiliations, associations, transactions, reputation or character of any person, association, organization, society or groups of persons, firms or corporations;

The credibility of witnesses or other persons;

The whereabouts of missing persons;

The location or recovery of lost or stolen property;

The causes and origin of, or responsibility for, fires, libels, accidents, damage, injuries or losses to persons, firms, associations or corporations, or to real or personal property;

The affiliation, connection or relation of any person, firm or corporation with any organization, society, association, or with any official member or representative thereof;

The conduct, honesty, efficiency, loyalty or activities of employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors; and,

The securing of evidence to be used before any investigating committee, board of award, board of arbitration, or in the trial of any civil or criminal case.

We utilize a law enforcement database that can track people. This database also gives us marital status, physical location, employer information, etc. of those we are searching for. A 'basic' people search will cost $29.95 per person.

LANDLORDS: Document the condition of your property before, and/or after, you rent to tenants. Have tenants ever damaged your property? Well now you'll have proof, should you have to take them to court to seek damages.

TENANTS: Have you ever been accused of damaging property by a spiteful landlord? Well now you'll have proof that you didn't, should you have to take action against the landlord in the court of law.

Flat Fee = $150.00

Hourly = $75.00 per hour

Such investigations include, but are not limited too:

Justice isn't blind on police misconduct. That too can be stopped!

Citizen complaint process check: Police Departments are required to document and establish a policy for internally investigating citizen complaints. We will see how an ordinary citizens' complaint would be handled in the absence of authority.

Racial profiling tests: Do you think an officer or department is engaging in racial profiling? If so, we will secretly test the officer and/or department to see if your accusation is right.

Individual officer conduct tests: A police officer is trained and required to keep his/her cool in almost every situation. If an officer is known to act out when angry, our paralegal investigators will perform a test to see how the officer will react.

Advocacy: A paralegal is permitted to assist individuals before government agencies, including police departments. If you'd like to address your concern to the officers supervisor(s), we will tag along with you and make sure your rights aren't violated at meetings.

Should you wish to file a complaint against an officer and/or a Police Department, we can set you up with our contacts that may be able to assist you further.

Our network does not get involved with minor disputes (i.e., speeding tickets, etc.). Rather, we get involved with pattern's or practices of alleged misconduct being done by individual officer's or an entire police department. We acknowledge the fact that most complaints of alleged misconduct by the general public is not actual misconduct punishable by law. For example, many people feel that it is against the law for a police officer to raise their voice and yell at them. This is not misconduct punishable by law. In fact, such cases aren't even a violation of an ethical duty because police officers, like you and I, are allowed to yell.

Serious cases of police misconduct should be reported immediately to an attorney, public officer, or the Department of Justice. For more information, please contact us.

It's legal to handle your own legal matters using self-help law books, products and services. Independent Paralegal Services offers clients with affordable access to the overpriced legal system. We are a non-attorney self-help legal form preparation service. We work under the direct supervision of informed clients. We offer competent, quality service. Our clients make all their own legal choices and call their own legal shots. We simply type out legal forms following the client's instructions. We are not lawyers. We do not offer legal advice or practice law. We will immediately refer the public to an attorney we contract with, if necessary.

If you're busy and can't file your time-sensitive documents on time, or just simply don't know how to file, our legal support professionals will do it for you. We charge $50.00 (per court appearance) regardless of how many papers need to be filed. A confirmation from the clerk of court will be made available at the conclusion of service.

Pursuant to the Uniform Small Claims Rule 7(e), which states: "non-attorneys shall be allowed to assist parties in the presentation or defense of their cases when, in the judgment of the court, such assistance would facilitate the presentation or defense," our paralegals are willing to assist you with your small claims matter.

We can guide you through the entire process. Just remember, paralegals are not attorneys licensed to practice law and cannot give or accept fees for legal advice. In order for you to win, regardless if you're the plaintiff or defendant, you need to have the preponderance of the evidence. Let us help you!

Witnesses are crucial to your case. We at Case by Case know the importance of "friendly" witnesses. If you give us information about your case, we will send some paralegal investigators out to try to find potential witnesses. Keep in mind that it is always best to have a disinterested and experienced individual do this for you. If you go out and try to find your own witnesses, it's going to look like you influenced their testimony.

Hypothetically let's say somebody punched you and broke your nose in the Main Street area. As a result of the person unlawfully touching you, you suffered financial loss in the form of medical bills, and loss of work. Now you want to regain your finances and want to sue the assailant. You have no actual proof. You have no witness(es). The only thing you have are medical reports proving that you've had a broken nose, and the name of the attacker. Do you consider this a great case?

Witness Services

The paralegals will go back to the incident scene and determine where potential witnesses might lurk. They will interview people to find out who's a witness. If witnesses are found, Case by Case will send one of their Notaries Public to take the written affidavit (witness statement) of the witness(es). In accordance with the law, the notary will record the identification information of all affiants.

After you file your lawsuit against the assailant, our paralegals can then assist you with additional services. If you need the witness(es) subpoenaed, for example, then we can draft and issue everything for you. One of our process servers may then serve the order upon all witnesses to whom it is directed.

Mediation is simply the process of reaching a mutual agreement amongst two or more people. Case by Case offers out of court (not court related) mediation. We'd arrange a time to meet with all parties and allow the parties to try to work out their disputes. We would listen and guide each side on reaching a conclusion.

Types of disputes or decision-making that often go to mediation include the following (though use is not limited to these areas):

Family:

Prenuptial agreements

Financial or budget disagreements

Separation

Divorce

Financial distribution and spousal support

Parenting plans (child custody and visitation)

Adult sibling conflicts

Disputes between parents and adult children

Disputes involving the following issues:

Landlord-Tenant

Builders/contractors/realtors/homeowners

Contracts of any kind

Non-profit organizations

Faith communities

Other:

Youth (school conflicts; peer mediation);

Violence prevention

Victim-Offender mediation

Mediation commonly includes the following aspects or stages:

a controversy, dispute or difference of positions between people, or a need for decision-making or problem-solving;

decision-making remaining with the parties rather than being made by the neutral third party;

the willingness of the parties to negotiate a positive solution to their problem, and to accept a discussion about respective interests and objectives;

the intent to achieve a positive result through the facilitative help of an independent, neutral third person

Keep in mind that we are neutral. We do not make decisions or issue any type of binding contract, outcome, etc. Furthermore, we do not give or accept fees for legal advice. We are not attorneys and have no authority to do so. Mediation service cost ranges from $200.00 -$800.00.
