Background checks and when they are handy!

Nobody really likes court, especially if you are sitting in the defense chair. So why not go in prepared, right? Well, this is where background checks come in handy, such as those provided by http://www.intelius.com/ or http://www.criminalbackgroundrecords.com/ these are helpful when you are going into a courtroom to defend yourself. Why? Simple, you already know what parts of your criminal history they are going to attack and you have the information available to defend yourself. These really only come in handy if you haven't kept records yourself, which I highly recommend keeping for as long as you possibly can.

Although, if you are like me, you don't make an awful lot of money. In which case it is usually simple to contact the court in the county where the charge occured and get the information that way (costs vary). However programs like Intelius or criminal background checks usually have everything without having to go through multiple courts in possibly multiple counties or even states. Always go to court prepared, know your charges, know your rights, and always try to retain an attorney.
