Difficult process service in Detroit and Southeast Michigan
Some people don't want to be found. We find them anyway.
Your case can't move until they're served, and they know it. They don't answer the door. They've moved. They've told everyone to say they're not home. A standard process server knocks once, marks it unserved, and sends you the bill.
We don't stop at the door. Our team spent careers locating people who didn't want to be located, and we bring the same persistence to every difficult serve. We hold a 100% service record on difficult cases, and when service is likely to be disputed, we can record it on video so the question is settled before it's raised.
