That is routine work for us. Someone actively evading behaves in patterns, and our investigators establish not just where they are but when they are reachable. Where evasion continues, the documented attempts become the record supporting a motion for substituted service.

Rush and same-day service are available, and we make after-hours and weekend attempts where the rules permit. Tell us the deadline up front and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.

Yes. A signed, notarized affidavit of service, prepared for filing. Attempts are logged with date, time, and location as they happen rather than reconstructed later, which is what makes an affidavit defensible.

This is where documentation earns its money. Our affidavits reflect what actually occurred, including unsuccessful attempts, and the server who executed the affidavit is available to testify to their own service. An affidavit nobody can stand behind is worse than no service at all, because the judgment it supports can be vacated later.

Summons and complaints, subpoenas, family law papers, eviction and landlord-tenant notices, small claims filings, demand letters, and formal notices.

Yes. We serve directly in the markets where we are authorized and place elsewhere through properly authorized servers, with the affidavit executed by the person who actually performed the service. Authorization rules vary by state and sometimes by county, and some documents can only be served by a sheriff or constable in certain jurisdictions, so we confirm the requirements before we accept the assignment rather than after.

You receive the attempt record. Courts generally require a showing of diligent effort before authorizing substituted service, posting, or publication, and our documentation is prepared to support that motion. Tell us early if that is the likely path and we will structure the attempts accordingly. The text of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 covers service in federal matters, and state rules differ, so your own rules govern what the showing must include.

Yes, and it is often the faster route. Skip tracing and field verification before the first attempt costs less than three failed attempts at an address that was already stale.
