Party Inquiry Help:

Use this screen to inquire on the name of a person or company. The name inquiry searches for the letters you type, in the order you type them, followed by anything else.

Person’s Name
A last name is required. A first name is optional. A middle name is also optional. You may enter a middle name or middle initial after the first name (example - First Name: Daniel Herbert or Daniel H). The name you enter must match the way that name is spelled in this database. For example, if you enter the last name Rodgers, but the name on file is Rogers, you will not find the listing. You may enter a partial name, but you must enter at least the first 2 letters of the last name.

Company Name
Type only the proper name. Do not include designations such as Inc., LL&P, Co, etc. If no matches are found, try using only the first word in a company name. If a business name includes the "&" symbol, inquire once with "&" and again with the word "and" to ensure that you find all possible matches, or inquire using a partial name.

To Narrow the Inquiry
Use any combination of the optional inquiry fields to narrow the inquiry. The optional fields are: date range (when the case was filed), case type, case status and connection.
