My husband and I bought a new house and were really getting excited about it, but it really needed some work done on it so we hired a contractor to do some repairs. We both thought that he was a really nice guy and we had nothing to lose, but we soon found out that we were wrong. We lost thousands of dollars on him and he never even finished the job! We learned later that we could have easily saved ourselves that trouble if we had used the online court records. We have learned to use those records with anyone we go into business with.
