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. Our law firm was thrilled by the quality of service!

I needed to find someone in the Seattle area, then have them served. My practice is in Florida. Their website is easy to use. The communication and updates were timely and clear; and the process was done more quickly than I anticipated! (Even in the middle of COVID-19).

Can anyone order an investigation?

Due to the nature of investigations, Locate Services are available as part of our offerings to legal professionals and their associates. These services are only available for customers who are attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, law firms, or who are actively working with an attorney. If you are actively working with an attorney, we may require formal confirmation.

If it's for service of process, yes. We perform investigations or searches to enable the delivery of legal documents. Our Locate Services are intended to be used in coordination with service of process only.

Why use ABC Legal for skip tracing? Aren’t all skip trace vendors the same?

ABC Legal's Locate Services provide the expertise and experience locating individuals specifically for service of process, which will serve your case best long-term.

Unlike other agencies, we compile data from multiple major credit header databases and other record sources during our trace. Additionally, several of our Locate Services offerings include a service probability score, which compares the results of the trace with historic indicators of successful service to give you the probability of service at a given address.

Who performs standard investigations?

ABC Legal is a licensed private investigative agency employing a team of licensed investigators. The team oversees investigations and the creation of tools related to skip tracing and venue selection.

How much does skip tracing cost?

To learn more about our Locate Services and pricing, start a conversation with our service of process experts to learn about the options available to your firm.

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.

What Locate Services are offered?

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.
