When you [know an address is good](https://www.abclegal.com/blog/when-a-bad-address-isnt-a-bad-address) and an individual is successfully avoiding service by the best process servers, what's next?   

Petition the court to authorize an alternative service method for your case, such as posting, mailing or publication.

Too time-consuming?  Not anymore.

We’ve **automated**** the process for requesting alternative service** methods in [Arizona](https://www.abclegal.com/states/arizona), [Illinois](https://www.abclegal.com/states/illinois), [Oregon](https://www.abclegal.com/states/oregon), [Texas](https://www.abclegal.com/states/texas), [Rhode Island](https://www.abclegal.com/states/rhode-island) and recently added the state of [Maryland](https://www.abclegal.com/states/maryland).

Our process servers and investigation team will make diligent efforts to locate the subject and move forward with compiling and filing the appropriate documents whenever possible. We then track the motion until the order is granted, perform all the proper alternative services, and you get the benefits of a higher service rate!

Next up, [California](https://www.abclegal.com/states/california).
