Background Investigations
Professional research that goes beyond a single database result to help clients evaluate people, claims, relationships, and risk.
DLI conducts background investigations for attorneys, insurers, businesses, organizations, and qualified private clients. The scope is tailored to the lawful purpose of the inquiry, the decisions the client must make, and the information reasonably available.
How DLI Can Assist
- Identity and address-history research
- Civil, criminal, and federal court-record research where available
- Business affiliations and corporate records
- Property, lien, judgment, and bankruptcy research
- Professional-license and credential verification
- Employment-related verification when legally permissible
- Social-media and open-source research
- Identification of inconsistencies and additional investigative leads
Information Requires Verification
Names and records can be incomplete, outdated, or associated with the wrong person. DLI evaluates identifiers, source quality, corroborating information, and the limits of available records before reporting findings. Applicable consent and legal requirements are addressed according to the purpose of the investigation.
A Professional, Defined Approach
Every assignment begins with a confidential discussion and clearly defined objectives. DLI evaluates the available information, identifies practical investigative steps, communicates appropriately during the work, and reports facts without exaggeration or unsupported conclusions.
