Methods of Service:
We tailor the method of service based on the requirements of the case and California court standards:
Personal Service
Direct delivery to the named individual or business representative. This is the most effective and preferred method in most cases.
Substituted Service
If the target is unavailable, we leave documents with a responsible adult at the home or workplace and follow up with a mailed copy, as required by law.
Service by Mail
For specific documents or out-of-area recipients, we serve via certified or first-class mail with a signed declaration of service.
Service by Publication
When the subject cannot be located after diligent attempts, we coordinate publication in a court-approved newspaper, as allowed by court order.
Stakeout Services
For evasive individuals, we offer targeted stakeouts to serve documents discreetly and lawfully.
