Thanks so much for the info. I always show attorneys the website where
their state (or city/county) provides such a service and they really
appreciate knowing it.
Here in CA, I haven't seen a state-wide service--only individual cities
and
counties, with varying types of databases available at each. Please let
me
(or the list) know your final results.
