This was an excellent process server from beginning to end. The easiest method to upload the subpoena, to an electronic payment and the service completed quickly was amazing. I was notified of the service by the process server with the details that I was assured the defendant was served. The proof of service was electronically sent to the court. Highly recommended and thankful for such a professional company.

We got a hold of ABC Legal Services on a Friday. We did a "rush" service and our person was served the next day. We are in Washington and the service was in California. This will be my go to from now on.

How do you deal with someone avoiding service in California?

While some people are evading service of process in California, in many cases they just aren't quite where you expect them to be, when you try to reach them. We're here to help you handle either situation. Process servers in California will make multiple attempts with California's diligence and service requirements in mind.

Every service attempt will work towards meeting those requirements. In doing so, we will go to the house multiple times to try and reach the person to be served while they are in residence. Our process servers are tasked with providing data indicating that a person may reside at the address, which we refer to as "residency indicators".

This information can come in handy when trying to prove diligence after non-service in court or to get alternative service approved as available in a given state.

For legal professionals, we can provide additional assistance regarding the next best address to try with a free, auto trace. This service isn't available to everyone due to legal restrictions across the country.
