Details
Searched on-site in the requested county, this search will return such information as the case number, cause of action, disposition or current status, as well as any details about the case and litigants involved (when available) occurring within the past seven years. This search will not return case transcripts. Separate family and probate courts are not searched. To help defray rising court costs, some jurisdictions now impose a surcharge to access their records. This fee is county-imposed and passed directly to them. Click here to check your county.

Each county varies with regard to what is maintained in its upper (Circuit) and lower (County) courts, normally depending on the dollar amount involved. General speaking, lower courts include small claims and civil litigation amounts under $5000.00. A maximum of ten records will be returned per court searched.
