There is a big difference between a background "check" and a background "investigation."
A background check usually involves retrieving online data from some data base.
There is no verification on how accurate or up-to-date the data is or where the data originally came from.
The operators of online background check sites sell the same old data over and over again and often use sales terms like "NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK" or something similar.
But, if you read the fine print it usually says that the company "neither warrants, vouches for, or authenticates the reliability of the information contained herein that the records are accurately reported as they were found at the source as of the date and time of this report."

It is with this mindset that Babnick and Associates starts every criminal defense investigation.
Law enforcement's focus is on gathering information and discovering evidence to support a criminal conviction.
Sometimes in this zeal to "catch the bad guy" the focus of law enforcement investigations can be too narrow and exculpatory evidence - that is, evidence that could prove or indicate a defendant's innocence or at least mitigate a defendant's guilt, may be overlooked.
At times, once the police feel they have "found their man" they just quit looking for more evidence.

Assets include money in bank accounts, insurance policies with a cash value, stocks and bonds, a new car or boat with no liens, real property, a stack of 100 dollar bills stashed under a mattress, or just about anything else that a business or individual owns.
Sometimes, assets are not what we normally consider to be "property" but are nevertheless quantifiable financial holdings which provide distinct financial benefits to those who possess them.
These include such things as tax credits, cryptocurrency like Bitcoins, Dogecoins, and Peercoins, stock options, riparian and mineral rights, foreign trusts, and even such things like baseball card collections, stamps, and antiques.

Report
My wife and I consulted with Portland Private investigator George Babnick about a sensitive situation involving family member. We hired him and got answers to our questions. The news we got wasn't what we wanted to hear but Mr Babnick was compassionate and understanding and professional. Mr George Babnick in a good man.
