Founded in 1996, by Ticia Symonds, Legal Locator Service is an Oregon based company operating globally with a secure technology platform and an experienced team of background check professionals. Our intuitive platform is paperless, which allows you to hire faster and maintain screening results with more confidence. Legal Locator Service is known for its superior customer service. You will work closely with an experienced account manager who knows you and your company.
