Initially, my experience was positive, they promptly filed my court documents, and I appreciated their quick work at the beginning of the process. Unfortunately, communication came to a complete stop after that. Over the following month, I sent multiple follow-up emails, made several phone calls, and left a voicemail requesting an update on the status of my service request. Despite these efforts, I generally received no response and no information regarding whether service attempts had been made or what the next steps would be. I understand that service of process is not always straightforward and that delays can occur. My concern was not the delay itself, but the lack of communication. Even a brief update would have been appreciated and would have given me confidence that my case was still being handled. Because I was unable to obtain any solid information after more than a month, I ultimately decided to retain another process server to avoid further delays in my court matter. I hope the company improves its communication with clients, as timely updates are especially important when people are relying on process service for legal proceedings.

Brandon was absolutely amazing. He kept me informed every step of the way and even offered great advice throughout the process. When he couldn't initially locate the other party, he suggested a stakeout, and within just an hour, they were able to complete the service. I'm so thankful for his help, and I'll definitely be recommending him to anyone who needs his services. read more

DeWitt Detective Agency

Jason DeWitt helped me tremendously throughout a lengthy process dealing with a violent stalker…read more Jason helped me set up a camera on my property, helped aid me with how to connect with the police and how/when to make police reports. He helped me serve papers to my stalker safely by hiring additional security, and accompanied me to the following lengthy court proceedings. Dewitt helped me connect with a key, hard to find witness (a bystander who had made a 911 call on my behalf) and talked to them when I was too busy with work. This witness ended up being critical to my DVRO hearings, where I ultimately succeeded in getting a DVRO in large part thanks to DeWitt Detective Agency! When my stalked later violated the DVRO Jason consulted with me on how to proceed. Jason is a really nice guy, and made the whole incredibly difficult process a lot easier and more comfortable.
