If you're considering hiring a nanny to care for your child or someone to care for an aging relative, please be sure to perform a background check on any candidate before you hire anyone. Glowing references is not confirmation that the potential caregiver you are considering is the person you think he/she is.
The Parris Group thoroughly investigates all information including but not limited to the candidate's criminal history, driving records, visa and immigration status, and verification of a social security number. We can check the credit history of a potential nanny or caregiver, ensuring that the individual has values. Defaulted loans and repossessions raise the question of whether the nanny is responsible, honest, and mature to take care of a precious family member.
Whether you are part of a Fortune 500 or a small business, you know that hiring qualified, honest employees are critical to your business's success. The pre-employment background investigations provided by The Parris Group can assure you are hiring the right person for the job.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR PROPERTY...
Many people think, " Well, I can always take the attorney or the business to court if they take more than agreed to in the contract." Certainly, the U.S. Court system is there to take your complaint, but that will entail costs on your part that many people do not want or have the funds to pay. Unless you are experienced with the process of filing a civil claim against the person or business that has stolen your property, and if you want to have a good fighting chance of receiving what was taken from you, you will have no choice but to retain counsel to fight your battle. You will have to pay a retainer fee, and throughout the litigation, which can take months or even years, you will have to pay all fees and costs while keeping your trust account with the attorney replenished as he works through your case.
Can you and are you willing to afford this? Is it worth the frustration and mental anguish to deal with a lawsuit that can last months or possibly years and may include a trial? What property was collected and delivered to you will be gone in a matter of weeks or a few months, depending on your attorney's hourly rate and how much of the asset you did receive.
Let us also note that attorneys, individuals, and businesses do not have the best interest in mind for their clients. The Parris Group has first-hand knowledge of some of the deceitful and dishonest "professionals" who are only in this business for selfish reasons.
To be pro-active, why not perform your due diligence BEFORE a ruthless attorney or unethical business robs you of your property and gifts you with mental anguish and frustration?
Below are some tips to help you perform the necessary due diligence to protect yourself and your property. If you are not quite savvy on using the internet, have a family member or friend you trust to assist you.
-
Look at the material/solicitation you have received. Is it of quality print and materials? Is it grammatically correct and professional?
-
For a business, go to the State Corporation Commission (SCC) website where the company is located and search for the business. If they are a legitimate business, they must be registered with their state's State Corporation Commission.
-
If an attorney, go to their state's State Bar and see if they have a license to practice law and if any complaints have been filed against the attorney. Note that the website will not give any current complaints while an investigation is underway, or if any disciplinary actions have been brought against the attorney. You can also check to see if the attorney has ever had their license suspended or if they have been disbarred.
-
Use a Search Engine (Google, Google Chrome, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo) and enter their name and the city/state and research any results that come up in the search.
-
If you are dealing with a private investigator, go to the state licensing agency and research their name, license number, registration number. In Virginia, the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) has a website and a telephone number.
-
Ask for references from the attorney, business, or individual. Make sure you receive telephone numbers and addresses of former clients. Don't be lazy - call several and ask many questions! Do NOT email or send written correspondence because anyone can be on the receiving end of that mailing/email address, including the one you are investigating.
-
Some businesses are registered with the BBB; go to www.BBB.org and research their database, or you can call them and inquire about the business.
-
Does the attorney, business, or individual have a website? If so, is it informative, in-depth, and do you walk away with a wealth of verifiable information after reading it?
-
If the fee required to collect your assets is too high, voice your thoughts and negotiate. Nothing is in concrete, and any reputable entity will be flexible if their only mission is to unite individuals/businesses with their legally owned property.
-
If you feel that something isn't "right," then don't do it! The best thing you can NOT do is sign anything with someone you don't trust. You will be safe, and so will your property. You then have enough information to contact a reputable business specializing in Asset Investigations and Recovery and assist you.
-
If you still are unsure, contact The Parris Group, and we will provide a background check for you. We do not condone taking someone else's business; however, we will provide anyone this service to ensure their protection!
These tips will help you decipher the good and reputable businesses from the unscrupulous "professionals" that are only out to rob you of your legally-owned property. If we can be of any assistance, please contact us. Our investigative services are guaranteed to provide you with absolutely the best results to help you make an informed decision that will protect you from becoming a victim of fraud and theft.
