How We Compare to the Competition
Response Time
Telos Legal Corp. confirms and starts processing all requests within minutes – other service companies can take hours and even days to confirm receipt/start due diligence search orders.
Pricing
Our pricing is often THOUSANDS of dollars cheaper than the competitors – we don’t tack on any additional fees for expedites or extraneous costs and work with a network of expert local researchers allowing us to have the most credible search results at the quickest speed possible.
Customer Service
Telos prides itself in the ability of our team members to be cross-trained on corporate filings and due diligence searches. Larger service companies often compartmentalize training to a specific category which can slow down the ability to obtain an answer when contacting a service representative. Inquiries are often fielded to the appropriate rep and the outcome is a response time of 7-10 business days. Not us, we reply to your email inquiry within 30 minutes and for more complex inquiries, at most a 24-hour period for us to get the answer you need. We harness the power of information-sharing across all team members so that each team member is equipped with the knowledge to help provide a response time within the same day of your inquiry.
Customizable Search Results
Whether a client prefers having results delivered piecemeal or as a batch when all research has been completed, we can tailor the delivery based on the client’s preferences – other service companies might use web-based platforms to store their search results within a “portfolio” which requires login credentials to download, however, we understand that paralegals handle multiple commercial transaction deals at any given time and the ability for them to receive results within their original email chain and in the specific naming mechanism/preference they prefer helps with organization and prioritization. We also provide search summary chart which allows user to have an overview of which searches resulted in findings to make final reviews as easy as possible!

Due Diligence Services
Need to "know your customer" before writing an opinion or closing a loan? We are here to help! Here at Telos, we pride ourselves with understanding the effects of uncovering liens and encumbrances on a borrower. We provide nationwide search services at the county, state, and federal level so you don't have to place multiple orders with various researchers. Our reports clearly indicate number and types of findings in any given jurisdiction. Our web-based processing system even provides a full summary chart of results for your search targets in their corresponding jurisdictions for a quick overview.
What We Cover
We can search for all available liens indexed at the Secretary of State of formation or residence. Local level searches include UCC Fixtures, Federal Tax Liens, State Tax Liens, Judgments, Lis Pendens, Mechanic's Liens, Bulk Sale Transfers, ERISA/EPA Liens and Pending Suits at municipal or state courts. At the federal level, we offer Litigation and Bankruptcy searches direct from the federal government-owned site, Pacer. Additional searches may include Patriot Act Search which we conduct in-house directly with the OFAC Sanctions List.
Turnaround Times
As a nationwide search company, we turn around search results quickly. While other service companies can take weeks to finish a search project, we tout one of the fastest turnaround times in this industry. Once a search request has been assigned to a representative, the research begins right away. Our staff has received industry training and understanding of running the searches in-house when possible. Which in turn helps you save on costs and speeds up turnaround times as it passes through less hands.
State and federal level searches can be completed in 24 hours, where applicable and local level searches are generally completed in 2-3 business days. If delays are anticipated for reasons beyond our control, we will notify you right away so you can plan accordingly.
