For regular and special messenger service this company is excellent. For challenging service of process, I have found service to be somewhat inconsistent. For that reason, when I know I will have a challenging SOP assignment, I use an investigator instead. Most recently I was up against a SOL deadline and was unable to open a case in federal court because the MFA was not working. I called ABC, spoke with the messenger manager, explained my dilemma, uploaded the documents, ABC advanced the filing fee (10%) and within 3 hours of my call, I received notice of the suit from the court. The $120 fee was well worth it, given the expedited need for service. The website is very useful in uploading documents for delivery and in tracking progress. The payment portal is also very well designed. read more

The business is basically a scam. When I called to ask about service, they stated they would try to serve the person 6 times. They only tried twice, but counted attempted phone calls at service, which they most definitely are not, especially when the calls take place within 30 minutes of the failed service attempt itself. They make absolutely no effort to investigate and seem resistant even to doing a google search. The way they go about service makes no sense. For example, I was looking to have someone served at a business address but the only attempts at service were at night or on the weekend. I reiterated to them that they needed to serve the person during the day on a weekday. They didn't. On the last day, they promised they would do another service attempt and just didn't. read more

Uploaded summons on March 26 for delivery for pretrial date of 4/10. Again got rescheduled due to nondelivery for 5/15. Not served yet. Processor "Conner Menegigian" went rogue and misbehaved me using vulgar words on April 13. Pretrial got rescheduled. Spending more money and time and using sheriff to deliver the summons. Stay away. Very unprofessional and money hungry company. That processor needs training on basic human behavior and client interaction based on ethical principles and standards. 0 out of 5. read more

Great website. Easy to upload documents. Their communication with their servers is awful. The notes I had submitted for the process server were not passed along. I ended up having to changes addresses because of this issue which added more $$ to cost of service. My service took an extra 10 days because they did not follow the instructions on my "rush" job. The servers can only follow through on information they receive. Very disturbing. Neighbors reported that the servers were uninformed. I cannot recommend this business. Next time, I will use a local company. read more

Their process servers only follow instructions half of the time. Most of the process servers can't fill out a proof of service correctly. They fail to correct their mistakes and it is extremely difficult to speak to someone about correcting the case. If you can go with a different process server--I would. read more

ABC Legal Services failed to properly serve my defendant due to their employee not understanding Arizona service rules (anyone over 18 at the residence can be served). Instead of completing service, their server asked family members if the defendant lived there, was told no, and then marked the service as undeliverable. I made multiple attempts to explain and correct this, but the issue was never fixed. Because of their failure, I was unable to move forward with my small claims case, causing unnecessary delays and frustration. I requested a supervisor and a refund and received no response. This showed a clear lack of knowledge and accountability. I would not recommend using this company if you need reliable service. read more

A simple process service of a Tenant has turned into a mess. The Process Server wants to use the excuse of "Hostile Environment "and now refusing to finish the job and ABC Legal kept the money paid. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! read more

It is a rip off. Do not use this incompetent company unless you want your summons not to be delivered at all and trials rescheduled because of that. My first attempt service attempt was made 2 weeks after and 2 attempts were made before first pretrial and the process server could not deliver the papers on time when the defendant was available. Result is the pretrial was rescheduled. They did not upload the non service document to court website. I had to pay more fee for alias summons. Then the process server told me to cancel the 4/10 service and pay another fee to deliver the new summons which I denied. The process server CONNOR MENEJIJIAN scolded me in vulgar language over phone on April 13 as he was s frustrated, my revised paperwork had been uploaded, but he knowingly tried to serve the old summons beyond the defendant's office work and wrote many times the paperwork was defective only referring to wrong old summons. My second pretrial was about to be be derailed by this rogue server CONNOR MENEJIJIAN and ABC LEGAL until I stepped in and paid half the fee to Collier county sheriff's office to get that delivered in a week. ABC Legal has no control over their server, tells you a bunch of lies and all you get is an AI generated email they are trying. I asked them to refund my fee which they have denied. I will dispute the charge with the credit card company and take this up with Collier County Chief Judge for nonconformance to norms and failure of trust and norms. Trust this rating, I did not at the outset, and paid a heavy price. 3 dozens calls, 50 + messages, always sent the right document with ZERO SERVICE. All they want is your $ without being accountable for service. I will upload the images in due time if they try to dispute my account. BUYER OF THEIR SERVICE BEWARE. read more

If I could give them a negative review I would. DO not use their services. They made excuses for their poor service and customer service never responds to concerns. They only made 2 attempts and posted when their website states they make a minimum of 3 attempts and post on the 4th. They also tried to charge me additional charges after I submitted my payment and two days later they stated I owed double for the 2nd name on the paperwork at the same address! Each customer service rep had a different answer to the same quesito21I wish I had read all these negative reviews before moving forward with their service. It was a waste of service. BAD BAD SERVICE! read more

They have a great website but they do not follow through. They copied the information incorrectly from summons to their website. Had the wrong court and the wrong court date. They don't server on weekends so filed on Thursday afternoon and as of Sunday afternoon they have not even attempted to server. They will have one chance on Monday and they are 2 business day expedited services will not serve the documents in time for eviction. Their job is to serve documents in a timely manner and they don't do that. read more

ABC Legal Services failed me tremendously. As a process servicing company they are lazy, inefficient and incompetent. Their service is one size fits all and they clearly take the easy way out in their approach to process servicing. They will not make more than one attempt and if it fails, oh well. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. YOU, LIKE ME, WILL END UP WITH NON SERVICE AND OUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY. DO NOT USE ABC LEGAL SERVICES. read more

DO NOT USE THIS HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! Don't waste your money with this company. They are horrible. Their customer service reps tell you one charge when it's actually much more. There are all sorts of hidden fees when they cannot or won't serve the papers properly. Wish I'd read the YELP reviews before I place an order online. I called customer service and she hung up on me. DON'T USE THEM. read more

Paid for service of summons and complaint and it was Not completed. I mailed in both because the pdfs I uploaded were halfhazrdly created using my iphone. The complaint and summons I printed out but not as pdfs so they were originals. I am not an expert in creating pdfs. Nevertheless, all they had to do was take said originals I mailed in too them and serve them on the defendant. Its not that difficult really. There should be no need for usps tracking numbers or anything else. The law does not require that. Only the "proof of personal service" form to be signed by the person making service after service is made and it filed with the court clerk who happens to be in the same building as the defendant. read more

Worst company to hire for process serving. Makes zero efforts to serve people . I provide a business address the building had a huge sign with unit number they said there is no unit number . I'm trying to serve an auto body paint shop They wait until the weekend after I informed them to go during the week but say they can not guarantee when the server will go. $150 wasted and I have court in less than a week. And they have made only 1 attempt in two weeks . DO NOT USE THEM read more

ABC Legal Services - Process Servers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Can I leave a 0-star rating? Guess not. 1-star it is. I recently gave ABClegal a job - actually, four jobs - serving summons & complaint on four California defendants in the same case. They got just ONE of them right. (Well, almost right, they didn't check the same boxes on the Proof of Service as were checked on the summons, but that was easily fixed.) For Defendant #2, where the POS form line 3b CLEARLY says "Person . .. served (specify name and relationship to the party named in item 3a)," the process server wrote "victor Maci" - no job title. For Defendant #3, the process server wrote "Mark D" - no full name, no job title. For Defendant #4, the process server wrote "Danny Simonyan, General Coordinator." Except you can't serve a "General Coordinator." I questioned it, maybe it could be "General Manager"? Nope, the person sits at a desk outside someone else's office. So a fancy form of "Secretary." Incidentally, it was three different process servers - all (somehow) licensed - and all three apparently don't know how to serve papers and properly complete the POS form. Process servers have one job. Actually two: serve papers, and complete a Proof of Service. It's unbelievable that I have to explain this to ABClegal. ABClegal should have just apologized, but they're standing by their process servers, telling me that they're not going to re-serve unless/until the court rejects my Request for Entry of Default. For one of the disputes, they absolutely refused to do anything and closed the case. For the other two, they said they'd look into it, but I didn't hear back for more than a month. When I requested refunds, they said they'd "review" my requests. read more

Former process server. Worst company to work for. They do not conduct interviews before hiring. They did not request my resume. They hired me after conducting a background check that has two misdemeanors on it. They do not compensate well, you lose money because of gas and multiple attempts. They do not provide good training. You cannot get phone support but have to send in a ticket and in a couple days someone will get back to you. Poor communication, poor compensation, unsteady workflow, lack of training. ABC Legal IS NOT BBB accredited. All of the reviews on ABC Legal's website are FALSE. read more

I am an attorney who tried this company out for process service. Although they did contract with a local who did the service, they refused to provide me with an original return of servie which my state required on the type of document it was. They made up explanations that my state court didn't require it. After advising them it wasn't a court document but a property document that required an original they wouldn't lift a finger to help. They went out of their way to be unhelpful. They also offered no refund on a person they didn't serve who was deceased claiming "work had been done" even though the decedent lived at the same address as someone else I paid to serve. Use your local proces server and not this Doordash of Legal Process knock-off. read more

We do NOT recommend this company for any process serving. We have used them for close to 2 years and more recently in the last 3 months they have failed us big time with too many excuses and a level of pure incompetence that we would rival a fast-food restaurant. If you value your time and money, steer clear of this company. read more

ABC Legal is a scam. I paid, they went out one time after hours, one time they said the person had moved (they had not), and one time after the deadline. Then refused to retry unless I paid again. Horrible, horrible, horrible and dishonest. If I could give a ZERO rating I would. read more

total waste of money. i paid them to serve two addresses for the defendant, to no avail. needed to do a skip trace. they refused saying i needed letter from an attorney. i am in pro per in the case. this is total b.s. went elsewhere and got it done read more

Horrible service process servers do not serve documents in an orderly fashion and make excuses. Do not use them. When they dont get the job done they claim it is a bad address when it's not. read more

Terrible company with inept practice. They took my money and had all kind of excuses for not serving in the timely manner required for my case. Fortunately, I have a resourceful backup and I used credit card payment so...I'll be getting my freaking money back for them wasting my time and not following through. Go elsewhere!!!! read more

Horribly experience with this company. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY. I had two separate requests and they did not complete either job. I have been calling and making internal notes with no resolutions. I will not be using this company again. We are not even able to file the Non-Service with the court because the server contradicted himself. I initially thought it was just a problem case but after sending them a second job and the service was not complete so I paid $90 for an investigation only to have them come back with the same apartment complex and different apartment number which the person did not even live in the complex anymore. Very frustrated, I have to call and be on hold for almost 30 mins each time and I still have not gotten a resolution to either of my problems, no service and no attempted service that I can use to be filed with the court. read more

Hired them to serve someone and they make zero effort to find the person. Paid $140 for them to ring a doorbell, shrug, walk away and then ask to charge me for more bunk services. Don't waste your money. read more

!!!!!!please read!!!!!!!! absolutely horrible. company failed several times miserably to serve documents and when refund requested, company started cursing and yelling on the phone. do not every use. read more

A monumental waste of time and money. Incompetent process server, caused multiple dismissals of the case due to failure to serve, then to providing incorrect proof of service documents. No one paying any attention to what they are doing. Never again read more

ABC Legal only cares about making money for the company, they have lowered the commission pay that the process server is paid in the last year , not to mention that if there are two different set of documents for the same address, the rate of pay for the second set is lowered by half but ABC Legal still charges the client full price. They also dont care if the server encounters a disgruntled defendant when serving the documents, safety of the process server is irrelevant. read more

They never attempted delivery of my docs, sat on them for 2 weeks even though I chased them a few times. Customer service was horrible, could not get through to a manager to get my docs back. read more

A former tenant owes me more than 22K. ABC maliciously used false and misleading tactics to prevent collection which I can prove. I spok with Ed a supervisor two weeks ago and he said my request was processing with no issues. I tried reaching him for the past week with no return calls and refusal to accept my calls. Mickey in the writ department was my primary contact and I thought genuinely trying to help. He said the Sheriff was not allowing process when I spoke with the LT. who advised me differently now Mickey won't answer my calls and he closed my case on 12/24/25. They have done so repeatedly and reponed when I called. However now I am told today by Ed that they will not reopen the account and essentially wanting me to just go away. In the call with Ed today when I told him I would file a lawsuit he hung up the phone in my face. By the way this company ignores BBB requests for contact and the corporate office never accepts calls. In fact I wrote corporate a letter and sent it three weeks ago with no response to date. This company feels invincible and have no concern for being held accountable. I wonder why! read more

I hired them to serve a protection order. They took my money and did nothing for six days until it was too late. Absolutely a scam. Avoid at all costs. read more

They mess up something almost EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I use them. I keep trying to give them another shot based on the convenience of not having to track down a process server in different locations each time. However...NEVER AGAIN! read more

Worst Ever - talk about unprofessional - they didn't even "serve" the person, they left documents at a reception desk, open and unprotected for everyone to read (breach of Privacy) - the whole idea is that the process server hands the docs to the person, they said they were to provide a photograph and GPS Coordinates - Non of which happened, a total failure - Avoid at all costs, save your money, better off using USPS registered mail b/c this action does not meet the requirements as required. read more

Took 22 days between hiring them for service of process before they assigned a server, who made only one attempt. Jennifer A is exactly right: don't waste your money. read more

Professional, service-oriented site, quick delivery, and frequent updates through completion! 2 packets served, each within a day of my request! Packets were delivered in El Dorado County by the same independent contractor-server, including photos of the specific location and completed proof-of-service papers within the hour. Not necessarily a fun process to go through when dealing with Court paperwork, but ABCLegal made it as simple and complete as possible...much appreciated! read more

ABC Legal are not on your side. I submitted an order ($95) for them to serve papers and I didn't quite have the correct address. They give you 5 attempts to serve the papers. So with 1 of 5 attempts completed, they informed me that they need a new address. Upon providing the correct address to the SAME neighborhood within a small fraction of a mile, they charged me $95 again. I didn't change anything with my case, the paperwork or who the papers were going to. I contacted customer service and was informed that they didn't care that they only made 1 of 5 attempts. Any time you update the address, even if it is to the same neighborhood, they will treat it as a new order. Their business is structured to extract as much money as possible. They do not care about serving our needs and growing into the future. There are so many other places that will do a simple address update to provide you with the remaining service that you paid for if you have a circumstance like me which I am sure many people do. I recommend to avoid them and use someone else that actually wants to work with you to provide value. read more

My firm has two jobs pending with ABC legal. The first was submitted two weeks ago and they have not yet attempted service even once, despite their claim that they will make their first attempt within five days for standard service. The second was submitted as a rush job, two days guaranteed service attempt, and after five days they have not attempted service once. These people have no idea what they are doing. They are unprofessional and unreliable. Do not use them. read more

Failed to serve any of the three defendants I paid to have served. Attempted one time with one defendant then paused service, when I asked for the other two attempts be made that I paid for they charged me another $75.00. They attempted service at the wrong address and said the address was unaccessible due to snow on another occasion. Since two of the defendants lived at the same address that counted as four service attempts. Big scam!! read more

ABC Legal Services - This is the "proof" of non-service. - Process Servers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Have used these guys for a few years and normally everything goes fine, but my latest interaction has me concerened something has gone very very wrong with this company. The proof they provided was deemed defective by the court and they have refused address this in over a week. Our case will need to start all over due to this horrible service. Every day I ask for an apdate and each time a generic reply comes from a different person saying they are waiting to hear back from compliance. Think twice before using ABCLegal for anything time sensitive or important. In fact, think twice before using for anything. read more

I am a lawyer in California and have done business with numerous process servers. I uploaded the documents on the ABC website and they were served in downtown New York City the next morning. It was incredibly fast. The proof of service they provided was not the one I sent them to fill out. It was one that the process created correcting two mistakes I had made. All this for $75 in Manhattan where you can't get lunch for $75. I am very pleased. I usually check Yelp reviews before I do business with anyone but I didn't do it with ABC. If I had I would not have used them. I have never seen so many negative reviews for a business on Yelp. If ABC wants to avoid future bad reviews they need to advertise their services as "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back". Then tell their independent contractor process servers that if a negative review is left on YELP due to negligence on their part they are history. ABC can respond to this review and let Yelp members know if they have made any policy changes. read more
