ALERT - Some have been used in rural counties to do this and one man told me he has them do it and they don't charge copies on his orders - isn't this stealing from the county.  Wish I knew the clerk.  And don't they offer lien searching etc by the county using the unskilled clerks to do the work - and they charge as much as or more than I do - lol - like they really know what they are doing - they make copies and all the sudden they know abstracting.  Another thought, I went to one county online searching site and they charge more than I do for criminal searches - at do it yourself on their site.  I have been told by some clerks that the county told them they cannot do searches and work for the county.  I believe this is probably true everywhere they just don't know it is going on - and I would think the employee and the company would have repercussions to this especially if they were not in the end paying for copies.
