The owner of this company uses his position with legal aid to get documents on people quickly and easily in order to extort money from people seeking legal remedies. Their sole purpose is to make you pay to get your personal information off of their site. While anyone can go to the courthouse and pull court cases, it is highly unlikely anyone would go through the process of that on a 79 year old woman throw on the street for no good cause.Business Response
