Lawyers do have the ability to check on public records and they do have "investigators" to do work in looking into things so that they don't look like fools in front of a judge.

no but they may do later to make sure that they are not caught of guard by prosecution lawyer who is likely trying to dig up dirt. in some case background check may be relevant e.g child care

not initially. they first want a client and seldom turn down anyone.
