Search for court cases in Alabama.
Get the data from thousands of sources, public and private, quickly and conveniently right to your screen.
Any time someone goes to court, jail, buys a house or goes bankrupt, their names show up in public records. Until recently, those court records were all but impossible to find. It meant waiting in line, putting in a public information request at the courthouse, then waiting for up to six weeks for the information to come by mail. Now, however, tools that were once only available to law enforcement and private investigators are at your fingertips. Now anyone can find public records in minutes, not weeks, and see what kind of things people have hidden in their closets.
