Great Process Servers
This site was a life saver! We were trying to find out-of-county process servers for evasive parties. The process servers were fantastic, and every staff member provided detailed and prompt communication. The rates are competitive and the site is very easy to use.

Do I need a skip trace?

That depends on how certain you are of the address you have on file. Locate Services are available to legal professionals to help determine if you're trying the best address.

The more time a process server spends attempting service at an outdated or inaccurate address, the greater the likelihood your court case will face delay.

We offer a variety of services, designed to support and improve service of process. We have offerings ranging from instant, algorithm-driven trace results to investigations performed by our team of licensed investigators.
