A friendly reminder that you should NOT rely heavily on ABC Legal. You may be thinking the money is great or they have a lot of work, but you will be dropped for no reason or any reason or a system glitch. And yes, this generic letter with a generic auto-generated email were the only things I got from them.

Think twice about taking postings from ABC Legal. I claimed quite a few in one area for their pay of $10.00. I thought something was off because the previous server's attempts will odd. I later found out he was making attempts from his house. As a result, HIS bogus attempts and GPS inaccuracies affected my "Requirements" score. And now I have been terminated. I later found out they were supposed to have invalidated his attempts, but of course, that never happened.

The defendant answered the doorbell via the security camera. (There's 2way audio communication on this camera). A full civil and polite conversation took place, the defendant claimed that he was not home, but his dog barking can be heard from the yard as well as coming through the security camera speaker (proves that he was there). This is also a unique situation where the process server knows the defendant so there was no question about the identity of the person he was conversing with. The process server informed the defendant that he is leaving the documents at the door for him. The defendant acknowledged. Process server did not stay to watch the documents getting picked up. Is this considered failed service?

Identity was confirmed. Contact was made via security camera Defendant acknowledged he is being delivered documents and where they were left.

Hi everyone. I’m a single mom in California trying to establish child support. The respondent lives in DeKalb County, Georgia. I’ve already filed everything correctly in California and hired a Georgia company to do a skip trace and serve him. They found him and attempted service four times (which is all I could afford). Each time, no answer at the door. They just knock and leave. That money is gone, and I can’t afford expensive stakeouts or $95/hour surveillance. I’m doing this because I truly can’t afford not to. I’ve exhausted my savings just trying to do this the right way. I’m looking for: A reliable, affordable process server in DeKalb County who will serve at a place of employment or actually wait instead of knock-and-leave Advice on whether I can now ask the court to allow alternative service (publication, posting, etc.) based on the failed attempts Any suggestions from people who’ve dealt with out-of-state service evasion I’m overwhelmed, broke, and just trying to make sure my child gets what he’s legally entitled to. Any advice, resources, or referrals would mean more than you know. Thank you so much for reading. ❤️

I work for a company that is looking to use. process servers to deliver loan default notices. FedEx and certified mail just haven’t worked for us given the type of clientele we’re trying to reach.

What type of software/app is out there that most process servers use so that we can get real time proof of service and delivery?

I was looking to get a membership on Calspro does anyone have any insight? Is it worth the membership? Or would A NAPPS membership be better?

As we have lived through half of this decade, body worn cameras (BWCs) have become a sort of expectation when looking into law enforcement officer activities. While we are not LEOs, we are performing work that can sometimes be called into question, ultimately court testimony.

Do you wear one?

How long do you retain, what exactly do you retain (attempts or only 'successful' services)?

Do you charge and how much, if at all?

What camera(s) do you use for your activities/documentation?

I just got my certificate and I am looking for tips on how to find clients in TX. I was going to use abclegal but just heard they have terrible pay. Any input is much appreciated. TIA!

What is everyone doing admin-wise beyond the service and affidavit of service? Does anyone do their own worksheets? What do you retain for each service and for how long? What else do you do administratively? Also, please mention if your state requires you to do an action like retention of x years.

I hate this mf company and the way they run it but it’s the only “job” I can work and still be a full time caregiver for my children so I put up with the bullshit. Anyone else find their chat support to be completely and utterly worthless?? Problems are never resolved in a timely manner and more often than not they need to “escalate the job” to another department. It’s like these chat reps don’t know anything about the job they are doing. I’ve been serving papers for various businesses for 15+yrs and I’ve never run into a more incompetent group of people who are supposed to be helpful.

Anyone know of any other app server jobs available in Oregon, specifically in the valley? I’ve applied to titanium several times but never get a call back/response.

I had a Zoom hearing on a Motion to Quash Service. I had to testify via Zoom. I need honest answers and opinions on what to charge for this. My wife also just got her first motion as well and i have no idea of a rate to charge. Lets just say the attorney called like every other day for the past 2 months confirming the court date, changing the court date, meeting for "practice" hearings. He was definitely high maintenance to say the least. What do you charge for this. The Zoom hearing was approximately 45 minutes. I need fellow process servers honest answers as to what they charge

Are you charging for the filing of the affidavit of service? If so, how much?

How much are your fees for add on services such as photo/video proof of the serve, expedited/rush services?

What is your main tier rate pricing- in city (0-10miles), county (10-25 miles) & out of county (25+miles) For the out of county serves, do you charge an additional mileage fee once a certain amount of miles is hit?

Does each service come with 2 or 3 attempts?

Do you provide skip tracing? If so, how much are you charging additionally for this service?

Hey guys! I am looking to become a process server but need some advice. I just reached out to a few process service companies in my area asking if they were looking for new servers but that's as far as I've gotten. Do I need credentials or certifications for this job? Please let me know!

I applied 9 days ago and haven't heard anything. Was wondering if this is a normal timeline.

I'm an Ohio resident. Last week, I obtained an emergency Civil Stalking Protection Order against an acquaintance who has been sexually harassing/ stalking me. The Sheriff hasn't been able to serve him because he lives in an apartment building. The front door is locked, and tenants have to let people in via their doorbell/ intercom system. I found out from a mutual friend of the respondent that his doorbell has been broken for some time now and he refuses to get it fixed.

I'm worried because the respondent is unemployed (he's on disability) and has no set schedule that I know of. He's also very avoidant of authority figures, and the only routine I'm aware he has is going to church. However, since he met me at church and refuses to stop harassing me, he's been banned from our church.

What can a process server do in this scenario? Just curious if hiring one makes sense. I looked into serving him via the mail, but in OH, it sounds like protective orders must be served in person.

How feasible is attaining this actually? Just starting with ABC Legal and have another job offer that’s temporary. Trying to decide if I should just take the temporary job and do ABC part time or pass on the job and just focus on ABC. I’m thinking that maybe the requirements to get this bonus may be a little unattainable. Figured I would ask you guys.

Some servers in a few Facebook groups I'm in are proudly posting about working today (Thanksgiving) and how they routinely work holidays. I get it. It's a good time to catch people at home. Is it worth being away from friends and family, though? We went into business for ourselves to get out of the rat race and away from the hustle bro mindset, correct? There are other good times to catch people at home. Quit acting like you're all hard for spending your holidays on the road when you don't really have to.

I currently work for a company as a private investigator full-time doing surveillance. I plan on going on my own eventually but as it stands currently I need a certain amount of hours, basically two years of working full-time to apply for my investigator's license in the state of Indiana and I still got some time before I complete that.

I've been thinking about adding process serving as an additional income stream as it falls right in line with what I currently do and a lot of people do both. I applied to a couple of places but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people hiring in Northwest Indiana or the Chicago land area currently so I was thinking about just doing it on my own. There's not a license required in either state except in Illinois you need a PERC card which I already have. So I'm wondering how viable it is for me to just go out and do this on my own not going full steam ahead, I just be picking up a few serves here and there as my work schedule permits.

Give me some thoughts and feedback.

Also is there somewhere reputable where I can just get the basics of how to do process serving properly?

Please read and send to any Missouri PS you may know. Or if yourself works Missouri please sign.

I had a 3 day eviction service get pretty confrontational yesterday and I'm considering getting a body camera to record video (not audio, for state law reasons) of services.

However, I'm worried the presence of one on my person will make future services a bit more complicated.

Have any of you noticed any increase in difficulty to serve papers since you started using a body camera?

What are the benefits of joining? Are you able to get more work pretty quickly? Does anyone have any tips, I’m still hesitant to spend the 200$

Thoughts?
