A court records data provider that works like part of the firm
Most firms don't have a data problem — they have a pulling problem. The records exist. Someone on staff spends billable hours retrieving them, matter by matter, county by county. A court records data provider changes the economics: you define the parties, case types, and jurisdictions once, and structured records arrive on a schedule instead of being fetched on demand.
Recordpipe builds that layer to your spec. Civil dockets, criminal case indexes where publicly available, judgments, liens, corporate filings, property records — collected from public sources, normalized into a consistent schema, and delivered in whatever shape your practice runs on: spreadsheets for paralegals, files for your litigation database, or an API your case management system can call. Every record carries its capture date and jurisdiction, so provenance questions have answers when a matter reaches the courtroom.
Docket monitoring without the morning ritual
Docket monitoring by hand means someone re-checking the same case lists every morning and hoping nothing slipped. Automated docket monitoring inverts that: silence means nothing changed, and an alert means something did.
A monitoring build starts with your watch list — named parties, matter numbers, case types, or whole jurisdictions. When a new filing appears against a watched entity, your team gets a structured notification with the parties, filing type, date, and jurisdiction, ready to route to the responsible attorney. Firms use this for conflict checks against new filings, tracking opposing parties across venues, watching for new suits against institutional clients, and pre-hearing sweeps before a court date.
Cadence is set per contract at scoping. What can be monitored reliably varies by jurisdiction, and we tell you which venues publish consistently enough to watch before you commit — that is exactly what the $500 scoping is for.
Judgment, lien, and UCC filing data for asset and collections work
Asset work and collections live on records that are public but scattered: money judgments, tax liens, UCC filing data showing secured positions, property ownership, and corporate registrations that connect a debtor to entities holding assets. Pulling those threads by hand across counties is the slowest part of the file.
Recordpipe delivers them as bulk public records data: every judgment matching your criteria across a set of counties, every UCC filing naming a debtor of interest, property records tied to the names on your worklist. Owner names and mailing addresses are public record and come through as filed; personal emails are not promised — contact points appear as published in public filings, and we don't ship scraped private contact data. Enrichment is your call, on your side. We are a data pipeline, not a skip-tracing or people-search service, and requests that amount to one are declined at intake.
Bulk historical exports for case strategy and intake
Some of the strongest legal work starts with a dataset nobody at the firm has time to build: every filing of a given type in a jurisdiction over a multi-year span, every case naming a defendant class you're investigating, the full filing history behind a pattern your practice group suspects but can't yet prove.
That is a standard Recordpipe build. Bulk historical exports arrive as clean, deduplicated, analysis-ready files with documented fields — the raw material for mass-tort screening, venue analysis, expert work, and intake models that score matters against real filing history rather than instinct. Contracts start at $5,000 and are fixed-price after scoping, so the cost is known before the work starts, and the $500 scoping includes a sample so your team sees the actual output format before committing.
