## Shield Screening Reviews
  ### 1. Not Forthcoming Regarding Court Fees

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrea N. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2025

**What do you like best about Shield Screening?**

- Portal was very easy to use and implement
- Fast turnaround
- Able to remind individuals about the background checks

**What do you dislike about Shield Screening?**

While they mention the prices do not include court access fees, the sales representative was not honest about the amount (e.g. ranging up to $100), or the frequency of the court fees. When there was universal court access fee on the package, he did not disclose it knowing it would be out of our budget. User beware.

I have sent a customer service feedback letter and have not received a response. I have limited hopes though. If they actually seek to do something, I will come back and updat ethis.
