Call Abella & Associates: Uncover the Truth with Expert Background Investigations

Gain peace of mind with thorough background investigations conducted by Abella & Associates. Our background investigations can help you uncover information that is not easily accessible to the public. We utilize diverse methods such as in-depth interviews with key individuals, uncovering hidden details through comprehensive database searches, analyzing criminal, civil, and administrative court records, discreet surveillances when necessary, and much more tailored to your specific needs.

At Abella & Associates, we understand the legal complexities of background investigations. We ensure all our services are compliant with relevant regulations, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). For example, a pre-employment screening must comply with FCRA. An applicant has a right to a copy of the report and must provide their authorization before the background check can be initiated. However, other types of background investigations may be conducted without the consent of the subject.

Some reasons why one may need a background check could be to:

  • Protect your children with a nanny background check,
  • Make informed decisions about potential business partners,
  • Verify the identity of your love interest,
  • Ensure the integrity of your home with a background check on your house cleaners, and
  • Gain valuable insights for various personal and professional situations.

Contact Abella & Associates for a confidential consultation and let us tailor a background investigation that meets your unique needs.

Call Abella & Associates: Your Key to a Clear Record

Expungements

A document titled "criminal record expungement"

A conviction can linger like a shadow, impacting your job prospects, housing options, and even loan approvals. While California offers expungement as a fresh start, navigating the legal maze alone can be daunting.

California criminal expungement is a process that petitions the Court to review a conviction and allows a defendant to withdraw their plea or finding of guilt. A new “Not Guilty” plea is entered by the Court, the case is ordered dismissed, and the conviction set aside. You may honestly answer “NO” to a question regarding a criminal conviction.

Before you retain an expensive attorney, contact Abella & Associates and we may be able to assist you in obtaining an expungement of your conviction for a fraction of the cost of an attorney.
