Effective public records research requires equal familiarity with online databases and the basements of government office buildings. We conduct thorough on-site and online public records searches, for everything from criminal histories to building permits.

From Facebook and Twitter to Internet comments boards and Amazon wish lists, the online world provides ample opportunities for posts that would raise the public’s eyebrows. We review thousands of online messages to identify the handful that may prove controversial.

We mine vote records, meeting video and audio, transcripts, performance audits, attendance records, news reports, and countless other sources to document officeholders’ accomplishments — and identify their shortcomings.

We work with your team to integrate our research into existing messaging, and to shape the messaging based on the research.

We utilize a wide range of reports, filings, and databases to determine the true record of a large corporation, small business, nonprofit, or other entity, beyond what their own materials or news reports say.

We use our records research protocol to quickly and effectively determine the suitability of potential contributors, partners, investors, staff, or other prospective associates.
