Visit or contact the court where you think a person might have been sued in. Go first to the local, state and county courts to find information on the person's records. Consult with an attorney about finding the appropriate court to determine if a person has been sued.
Ask the court clerk to check the records for you by providing the name of the person you want to find out about. Provide the name of the person or company that might have sued him, if you have it.
Log onto free public record databases such as the Public Record Indexes to do a background search on the person you want to find out about. Key in his name, state, city and age in the appropriate search boxes. Utilize your local court's website to carry out this search.
Inquire with your local police department about people with lawsuits or arrest warrants against them. Provide them with personal information such as the name and address of the person. Check through the local police website to determine if a person has been sued or has had an arrest warrant against him.
