What if the unsung architect of your industry was never after the spotlight—just the truth? In this episode of Behind the Screens, I sit down with Larry Henry—the very first lawyer dedicated to background screening compliance under the FCRA, dating back to 1981.

Who was defending FCRA compliance before most of us knew what that even meant. From military courtrooms to national legislation, Larry didn’t just witness the evolution of screening law—he helped write it. From defending class action lawsuits to helping found PBSA, Larry’s impact on our industry is both foundational and enduring. You’ll hear how a courtroom warrior with over 2,000 military defense cases under his belt became an irreplaceable pillar in our profession.

This conversation isn’t just a walk through history—it’s a playbook on legal grit, industry evolution, and staying true to your mission. If you care about accuracy, compliance, and justice in background screening, this is one episode you can’t afford to miss.
