If you've ever represented yourself in a lawsuit, you already know how frustrating and overwhelming…read moreit can be to navigate the legal system on your own. At some point, you will need a registered process server to handle various legal documents. After becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the RPS company I had used for years, I decided to take my business elsewhere. I found Swift Legal through the California Association of Judgment Professionals, where several members highly recommended the company. When I called to ask about their fees, the person I spoke with suggested that I talk to the president, Frank Kaul, who is an expert in writs and levies. Frank called me back, and we spoke at length about my judgments and the difficult litigation I was still dealing with. He listened with genuine empathy and kindness and took the time to understand my situation and what I had been going through. I have been using Swift Legal ever since, and I couldn't be happier. They are knowledgeable, experienced, responsive, and professional, but what truly sets them apart is that they genuinely care. They make me feel like I have a partner in this years-long legal battle and that I don't have to figure everything out on my own. I only wish I had found them sooner. If you ever need a registered process server, I cannot recommend Swift Legal highly enough. You will be in excellent hands.

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)

Lynnard at Barnes Legal Processing and Notary was an absolute lifesaver. I came to him with an…read moreurgent need for same-day process service and he was the only one I could find willing to make it happen -- and he delivered. He was also extremely cost effective. As my situation became more complex and I realized I needed an out-of-state subpoena domesticated in California, Lynnard stepped up again. He assisted me with all the required documents, turned it around quickly, and communicated clearly and professionally every step of the way. What really set Lynnard apart was his willingness to tackle more complicated legal issues, do the research to make sure everything was done correctly, and take the time to make sure I actually understood the process. As someone navigating this without an attorney, that meant everything to me. If you need process service or legal document assistance -- especially for anything time-sensitive or out of state -- Lynnard is your guy. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I selected East Bay Legal Services because they offered a standard 5-day process service with up to…read morefour service attempts. 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.

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.

He has always been truthful (can't say that about most lawyers I've met), painfully honest, diligent and accurate.

Alex is an extremely rare attorney who isn't just interested in "billable hours" but rather one who really cares about the financial well being of his clients.

From the outset, the process was remarkably well organized and efficient, supported by an excellent automated system and thorough case review practices. Because I work for a startup where the PERM process can be significantly delayed, I was in a difficult situation. Attorney Alagiri's expertise and strategic approach made all the difference--she built an exceptionally strong NIW case that led to my approval in under four months, sparing me years of uncertainty and waiting. I am equally grateful for the outstanding support her team provided during the I-485 stage. Receiving my green card so quickly was an enormous relief, especially at a time when the process feels increasingly difficult and uncertain for many applicants. Their attentiveness, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout this stage were truly exceptional. At every step, my case was managed with meticulous care and clear communication. The combination of rigorous legal insight, operational excellence, and deep understanding of the nuances of immigration law sets Alagiri Law apart. I am deeply grateful for their work and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a highly competent, attentive, and trustworthy immigration attorney.
