I have been a lawyer in San Francisco for just over 30 years…read more I have been working with Swift Legal in Redwood City for a few years now. They just did a terrific job for me on a rush assignment dealing with a particularly difficult Sheriff's Office. They moved heaven and earth to get something done in one day. This is the second time they basically dropped everything and got something done for me that was pretty difficult. They have also finessed a few things in the San Mateo Sheriff's Office. (Frank knows the local Sheriffs and is careful to follow the procedures in each office -- this one needs a declaration re electronic writ even after the change in the SER forms etc...) If you have work in Nor Cal, I can't recommend them highly enough. (I should also mention that they just opened an office right across from CT Corporation in Glendale)

Highly incapable of providing the service they advertise. I submitted a subpoena for rush/24-hour…read moreprocess service, yet after more than a week and a half--and multiple follow-ups--they never even attempted to serve it. Each time I called, I spoke with different employees who all told me it was "in process" and that I would receive an update. The only time I ever got updates was when I chased them down myself. On one occasion I was even told it would be served that evening, which never happened. Later I was told their server doesn't go to that city very often. If that's the case, then why offer and charge for rush 24-hour service?? When the case manager finally called me, he claimed the request had 'slipped through the cracks.' This was the same person who had previously told me it was actively being worked on and that he would follow up with the server. It's hard to understand how something can slip through the cracks when multiple staff members repeatedly assured me it was being handled. By the time they offered more apologies and promises to fix it, the subpoena deadline had already passed and it was no longer usable. This was after I had already taken the time to go to the courthouse and wait to have the subpoena certified in the first place. Completely unreliable service and a huge waste of time and energy. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

He is incredibly responsive, professional, and consistently gets the job done--even when service seems nearly impossible. The difficult assignments that would normally cause stress are handled with confidence and efficiency, and I always know my cases are in good hands. Having a reliable process server is invaluable in this profession, and Dimitrius has earned my complete trust. I can't recommend him and Sleuth Process Servers highly enough.

It sounded like the person was trying to evade being served due to them having a camera doorbell and avoiding answering the door. The following week, a stakeout date and time was established based on when the person was leaving for work. Dimitrius was able to catch the person leaving and the paper was served. Overall, a great feeling the papers are served and Dimitrius was very communicative during the whole sting operation. Next stop, court date here i come. Thanks Dimitrius.

TL;DR - This guy is a disorganized mess who messed up my ridiculously easy serve-by-mail process…read moreserving job in multiple ways over multiple days (all he had to do was mail something!!). I almost wonder if these other reviews are fake. Jesse couldn't get things done without prodding, lost things, probably lied to me about having filed proof of service with the court, until I asked him for a certified copy, and he claimed the court "lost it". He personally made a stressful process like divorce even MORE stressful. I should have bought a pothead a late night snack from Jack In The Box to do it for me - I would have gotten more effective results. Absolutely don't hire him. I hired Jesse for a "serve by mail" process. I gave him all the paperwork, my ex's address, etc. He said he'd mail it the next day. Did not hear from him the next day when he said he'd mail it. The day after that, saw I had at least one missed call from him, and a text - he wanted me to "confirm" my ex's address. I'm pretty sure he meant that he had somehow lost my ex's address. I had definitely already given him this information previously. He super stressed me out because I was afraid that because of him, I'd miss my serving process because of this 2 day delay from when I hoped to have it mailed. He texted me that day and said he had sent me the mailing tracking number. He had not. I asked him for this tracking number again. He said "as soon as I file the proof of service I will forward over the confirmation for you." I didn't hear from him at all for 2 weeks after that. Despite him saying he would let me know about the filing the proof of service with the court. After 2 weeks I asked him to please send me the certified confirmation of the proof of service, and asked him to send me the date the proof of service was filed with the court. (Since my gut told me he had never bothered to file this - and I wanted to check.) Jesse then texted me back and claimed "I just spoke with the clerk's office and they were having trouble locating the proof I filed in their drop box last week." What?! He's telling me the court lost a form from their drop box?! Somehow I highly doubt this. I'm sure he just never bothered to file it with the court, and was then just lying to me. Also didn't provide me the date as requested, which also leads me to believe he was probably lying. So he was 2 weeks late with filing proof of service with the court as well. All this for $115 to literally mail something ($75 for service-by-mail which is ridiculous, but I was desperate on short notice), and $40 to file something with the court that I've learned at least in other counties you can file online for almost free. I had to do all the endless prodding to get this process to move forward at all. Especially since I think he was lying to me and lost my ex's address and never filed the proof of service with the court initially like he said. Jesse made a stressful process like divorce SO much more stressful for me. Now that I've used other process servers who were SO much more professional and effective and hassle-free, I understand better what this process is supposed to look like. I suggest you run, don't walk, away from Jesse - and hire an actual professional process server like First Process Servers in San Jose. Cheaper and infinitely more reliable.

Roberta was very patient going back and forth giving me quotes and options and waiting for me to get back to her with board approval. Then once that was finally approved I realized I'd over committed myself to making shirts my son and his cousin came up with for Father's Day and there was no way I could make them myself as Father's Day crept closer. So super last minute I called Roberta to see if she could do those too and figured while I was at it I might as well also have her make some shirts for my baby with my family's business logo on it. Pricing was very reasonable and she got all of my custom shirts to me within a week and they look fantastic. Can't wait to see how our school shirts come out! Based on how great my custom ones already came out, I'm confident they will look great.

They have always done a great job and the orders were ready when promised. One of my recent orders was especially challenging. It was 30-year old cassette tapes of me interviewing my 98 year old grandmother over the phone. My voice was too loud and hers too faint. But they managed to improve the balance and remove much of the tape hiss. I can now enjoy my grandmother's stories of growing up in the early 1900's.

The customer service here is abysmal. I called this place 4 times in the afternoon (well after…read moreopening hours) to inquire about film processing because their website is unclear on their services. No one picked up every time, they even just sent me straight to voicemail. I end up just driving over to find the place is not busy at the slightest. They just ignore calls. I decided to make the drive out here and just talk to them in person. I've never met someone more dismissive in my life. The owner cuts off everyone who speaks to him. Right in front of me there was a sweet old woman who noticed there was a cash discount that was posted on the well after she handed over her film, she kindly asked to pay in cash for the discount and the owner told her "Nah I already typed in your order I'm not changing it." Shoo's her away after that exchange, and then says goodbye calling her by her first name. Which tells me this is a regular customer that he treats like trash. I'm next, I pull out my super 8 film and before I can even ask a question he says "nah we don't do those you have to go somewhere else" Which is fine. Not everyone processes super 8 (even though the website says they do,) which is an old medium. But the delivery and customer service were horrible. Someone should have answered the phone in the first place so I wouldn't be here "bothering" this guy on his very busy day of sitting around doing nothing. Also, This guys website shouldn't be coded/designed like a 6th grader did it, so that way the information can be clear and easy to read. Their website explicitly says "We transfer 8mm and 16mm film" which makes me believe this owner is just lazy and chooses not to work. It's sad really, the film medium is a dying industry and there are very few people who can be there to revive this medium and unfortunately this one in the Bay Area can choose to help this art form, but instead they choose to be a lazy business owner who has disdain for people who want to support his dying business. I've received better customer service from fast food chains than this place. If/when his business fails it's not because of a lack of customers or demand of services. But at the fault of a pathetic and bitter business owner who does not deserve it. To everyone reading I recommend looking for mail in film transfer. They are much more accommodating than this pathetic place.
