Free court records?

How can I get access to free court records online?

Do you know of a private or government website that grants public access to perform free court records searches online?

Thanks.

thanks Marula, nice answer;
you must confirm your Yedda subscription in the mail Yedda sends you or they cancel your account - I know, they don't make it very clear....

Sorry Paige, but it's not going to be easy to find searches for free court records online with much possibility of depth or comprehensibility:


A common misconception is that because information is public it should be free, some even quote the freedom of information, but this merely says we have free access. In most cases there are administration and labor costs, administration etc. And then putting "free" information online takes time and money.


The offers of free public court records information that you do find online (if they are indeed free and don't end up with a link to a paid search site) are usually connected to such small data bases that no in-depth or country wide search can be performed - perhaps curiosity seekers are satisfied.


Reputable private records companies who do charge for their search services take the time and money to gather information from a large pool of government and private resources both online and offline i.e. court records, county records, arrest records, inmate records, marriage divorce records, phone records etc.  and throughout all the states countrywide. They sort and order the info, and finally upload it to the web.
 


Because they gather information from such a wide pool of resources this means you stand a much better chance of finding up to date, complete and accurate information - compared to manually searching online all the "free court records resources" for each county and each state.


It's for this reason that many people prefer to use the private court records searches sites, including myself. It's convenient, very quick, accurate, and as I stated before, it's certainly a lot quicker than searching through all the little sites offering free court records checks oneself  - plus, you have peace of mind knowing that no stone was left unturned, so to speak.


 
After much trial and error with various online court records websites I use Gov court records . They have given me the most professional service, they have a massive database of court records and they process accurate reports very quickly.


 
I hope I have shed a little light on free court records searches online.
 
Good luck with your searches.

Do some leg work. Go down to the court house and ask to see the records.
If you want copies made, the court will charge you a small fee per page.

To get free court records for Lorain county you can follow these easy steps:

Online search: Type in the county you live in or want records for and county recorder. Public records or documents. Depends on the county, you may only be able to get records of liens and judgments or you can get criminal and civil court info.

Or you can go to the courthouse. Depends on the county. Some are completely free and some are free to search but have to pay to get physical copy. Also juvenile court or family court may not release info.

Good Luck!
