This was a great process service company however I believe they are now CLOSED. I have been unable to contact them for over a year.

I definitely give them 5. Their service is fast and precise. I worked with Scott and it was so easy to get a hold of him and arrange things quickly and easily! He is a great listener and very patient. I will use his services again and give a referral to others ! read more

I want to commend Scott and Ambush Process Service for their follow through and professionalism. I had VERY evasive defendants that I needed to have served. They moved, stopped corresponding to my communications and essentially "disappeared" with thousands of money owed to me. Although it took some time, and I had to reschedule my first hearing in order to find them, Scott somehow did. I am VERY satisfied with his service, methods and communication. Very grateful to have found a, fairly priced, service such as this. He's a miracle worker! I would DEFINITELY recommend and/or hire him again if ever I have the need again. THANKS GUYS!! read more

Don't make my mistake. I wanted to be cheap to serve someone for small claims court and tried to get friends to do a process service but it was just stressful and we failed and simply put the person on notice that we were trying to get them served. Hiring Scott was a great decision. It took me a while to get the correct address (a couple of months) and Scott gave me some good advice even prior to actually contracting his services. Once I had the address, it was very easy to pay online and he got it done within a few days and well within the deadline. He was professional, resourceful, and easy to communicate with. I hope I don't have to, but if i do, I would use his service again without hesitation. read more

Having to litigate is unpleasant enough, but having to make sure you serve the defendant properly can be even more nerve wracking. I'm glad I decided to look up process servers on Yelp and found one that was near to me and the defendant. There's a reason why AMBUSH is as highly rated as they are. Pro's: Scott is prompt when returning calls and his demeanor on the phone is professional. He clearly explained what I needed to send/bring to him and payment options and laid out what to expect. Con's: Due to the one star review by 'Mister P' I got leery when Scott didn't immediately respond and acknowledged that he received my email with the summons to appear in court. I sent the email on a Thursday morning and when I didn't hear back at all that weekend I called him on Monday morning. It turns out Scott served the defendant on Saturday. I received a proof of service in the mail immediately afterwards with a letter explaining that a copy was also sent to the court. Conclusion: I hope to never have to file another small claims court lawsuit but if I have to serve another person I know who I'll check with first. read more

If you need an aggressive and persistent process server...Scott is your man! He won't give up. He delivered in record time during this pandemic. Very efficient! Gets the job done! read more

Great service !!!absolutely deserved 5 stars I used ambush twice already and was very happy with the customer service and the service in general !!thank you guys highly recommend read more

Fast, professional and gets the job done. Can't thank you enough Scott!! Send you copies after service and send POS to the court, made it so easy ! read more

My story is short...why? Because from START to FINISH it only took ONE DAY! I loved the name Ambush, called the number on a Sunday, Scott answered the phone, told me how to get the stuff to him to be served in Burbank (I live in AZ). The NEXT day he texted me that the parties had be served at 1:04pm! TWO days later I get a proof of service in the mail!! Badda BING!!! Thank you for a job WELL DONE!!! read more

it's stressful for anybody to go through a litigation, although serving the papers can be problem if not done correctly i hired Scott to serve the summons to a girl who hit my car that was being really evasive after she changed her story to the insurance which resulted me taking her to small claims. I gave scott all the information I could provide to him and he served her in a week which I think was fast because of the special circumstances. Best process server in the S.F.V "thanks Scott" P.s i got my judgment read more

Never having sued anyone before, my knowledge of process servers was more or less limited to Seth Rogan in Pineapple Express. It seems like an excellent way to get called all sorts of bad names, but like professionally. Anyhoo, a woman hit me with her car, lied to her insurance company about it, and now I have to sue her (it's the new street justice). I called Scott at Ambush to arrange to have him serve her with papers and throughout the experience, he was professional, prompt, and efficient. If I ever again need to dish out tough street justice in the future, i.e. a lawsuit, I won't hesitate to hire Ambush to serve papers for me. Thanks. read more

I have used Scott's services several time over the last 4 years. My experience has been nothing but superb. Even when he was out of the country he responded to my inquiry right away and one of his team members served my papers. I can highly recommend Scott for serving your papers. His prices are reasonable even with the short notice and emergencies, he is highly reliable and you don't have to worry about sending the proof of service to the court, he does that for you as well. Thank you Scott, we highly appreciate your business. Mila & Alex read more

Scott is the MAN!! His advice is on point and he is fair and honest. Thanks again! read more

Ambush worked very hard for what we paid them for today's service. Scott told me it took 3 attempts and he didn't charge me for anything but the flat fee. I wouldn't know where to begin with this subject and I'm glad to have found him. I highly recommend his service to you. read more

I had 'filed by fax' to save a trip downtown and realized I didn't have enough time to use the Sheriff's service so my only option was using a private service. Soooo, did ton's of research and there really weren't many out there with decent reviews even on Yelp. Gave a call to a couple to get prices and although this service ended up charging $30 more than the Sheriff's at the court, it turned out being well worth it. Scott sounded friendly and straight forward from the start. He answered his email sent a Paypal invoice and served the scanned document I sent him the very next day (not sure that it's always that quick.) I got verification (source undisclosed ;) that he went straight up to the front door and didn't leave till he had properly served the papers. He mailed me the 'proof of service' as well as filing it with the court the following day. So pretty much I can say I would DEFINITELY recommend this guy. Hopefully I won't have a need for this service again (God willing) but if I did I would know who to go to. read more

Go ahead and use someone else! I dare you! Why? Because you will hate yourself for it. So just stop looking and use Ambush Process Service. I met this gentleman Scott online through his web site. We had a very difficult situation to deal with. We took care of it with a smile at a price that is more than fair. His communication style is top notch. He has all the best technology at his disposal. He has connections everywhere. I mean it. He was able to do something quite magical for us. I can't reveal my secret, but suffice it to say that Scoot and his experts kicked butt!!! Anyway folks, I checked out two other companies and they were flakes. I called Scott BAM he handled my request like a KING. Please not that I was not asked to write this review. I was not paid to write this review. I write very few reviews for a reason - integrity. Scott deserves the best and so do YOU. So join each other in Holy Ambush Process Service to get the job done. If you need to reach me regarding this review then please do so using the Yelp messaging system. BONUS TIME ---- Please be kind to everyone you meet. We all have a story. We all have good and bad days. Treat everything with sincerity and kindness. You will get back 100 fold the love you give. Trust me, I am the expert. read more

Scott was great! I had to get a restraining order against my ex-boyfriend. The whole situation has been very stressful. I found AMBUSH Process Service here on Yelp. I like that all reviews were 5-star. Scott was very kind, informative & helpful the whole time. This is my first time ever dealing with ANYTHING of this nature so, I am so happy that Scott made my life that much easier. I would recommend Scott's services to ANYONE. read more

I've never had to serve anyone before. Scott was very helpful in explaining how it works and what he does. I hope I never need his services again but if I do I will definitely be calling him. read more

Ambush Process Service served the defendant promptly on time, Ambush was also easy to communicate with. I would recommend to friends and family! read more

You want to use these guys!! Scott was great. I had to serve someone that was a bit tricky, but Scott kmew all the ins and outs of the law and managed to get it done and make sure to cross all his t's and dot all his i's . Im so glad i found Scott, I was about to use another company but they were about to totally rip me off and give me completely incorrect legal advice which in turn would have lost my case. Scott knew his stuff got the job done fast and was priced well. Nice guy too!! Dont keep shopping around, youve found em, go with Ambush! read more

The one word that applies best to Ambush Process Service is INTEGRITY. And RESULTS. OK, that's two words. From the first time I spoke to Scott, the owner, I could tell we were going to be successful. I called him because our attorneys, using their process service, hadn't been able to serve a very wily defendant for YEARS, and I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I wanted to find someone who was willing to do what it takes, and that means a stakeout. When I saw his business was named "Ambush", I figured that's a good sign. And when we spoke on the phone, I appreciated that he was very clear about exactly how everything works and what he charges for what. So we made our plan on how and when the stakeout would occur. A few days later, the defendant was served, and his bill was completely fair and accurate. It only happened because of Scott's diligence, patience, and integrity. If you have someone who is difficult to serve, stop messing around with goobers that knock on the door a few times, give up, and then bill you anyway. And even if the other party isn't particularly difficult to serve, you'll get the value you expect with Ambush. read more

Ambush service is quick and very responsive via email. They do not have an office so do not try to go there in person. It is just a PO Box read more

I've only had one occasion so far in my life where I have had to take legal action against anyone and Ambush Process Service made it "a piece of cake"! They served the party in no less than 1-2 days from when I employed their service. Recommend VERY HIGHLY and price was fine. Excellent, professional service! read more

I loved how prompt this service was .after the defendant /home owner, who was a land Lord ( a loser named AFSANEH DOOST )WHO did not give back the money she owed me after I moved out as a result of her harassment and abuse and police arresting her .she avoideded the sheriff 3 consecutive times on being served the court papers, I hired ambush services and Scott who was very helpful on the phone guided me and sure enough she and her son NIMA were served in 20 minutes. Thanks Scott. I highly recommend ambush .they know what they are doing .they get an A+ in my book. read more

Had to use AMBUSH to serve papers to defendants for a small claims case. My experience was great. I emailed them with some questions before payment and they responded same day. After I paid via Paypal, they contacted me within an hour to ask how I wanted to give them the papers. I chose to email the paperwork to them. The papers were served within 2 days and Scott emailed me on a Saturday to let me know it's been completed. He also took care of the official paperwork for the courts. Glad I chose to use these guys. As great as Ambush was, I hope I never have to go through another process service or small claims ever again. read more

I hired Scott initially to serve a notice for me and it went well, so I asked him to file the additional paperwork for me. I emailed him the paperwork that was provided by the court, he sent me an email asking for a cover sheet that I already supplied. I filled it out and sent it anyway. The next morning I received an email from him complaining how he spent hours of ink trying to print my paperwork, he then called me and began yelling at me because the form I sent to him was not a good copy...he started yelling and telling me he should have been out of here by 10 o'clock, he actually yelled through the phone and would not let me get a word in edgewise...he hung up on me! I guess the good thing is he returned my money...what an awful, unprofessional and unwarranted confrontation for no reason.... read more

I am so thankful for the service I received from Scott at Ambush, I was on the verge of tears. I had the worst experience ever with another process company and considering my hearing was ex-parte and I lived in northern California, I didn't have much time to get my documents served. Literally on the verge of breaking down from all the legal complications I experienced, Ambush was an answer to my prayers. * It's a great price! (The one I tried before them was $35, however they ended up costing me time and money without getting the job done.) Ambush wasn't much more and they obviously knew what they were doing. *The payment was easy and Scott notified me immediately when they received it. *I emailed my documents and had mistakenly sent the wrong forms for the Respondent. Scott went out of his way to find the correct forms and serve them to the Respondent. *I was made aware of the process every step of the way. *I was nervous my documents wouldn't make it on time but they made it sooner than the deadline! *The proof of summons was sent to me immediately. Ambush was the least stressful process I went through throughout this entire thing. read more

These guys are fast, efficient and reasonably priced. They even advised me as to what forms, I may be short on. Filed the proof of service with court as well. Saved me a ton of time and aggravation. Thank you so much. read more

Scott was ever so helpful with my million questions. He walked me through each and every step. Served the papers the very next day after payment was sent. Rush service was worth every PENNY!! I received the proof of service and filing with the court, within a couple of days. Best money ever spent. Scott is highly recommended. read more

Ambush Process Service is very fast, responsive and reliable service. We submitted email request and 3 days later the notice was served! All related documents were emailed to us and to court as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Scott did a phenomenal job, went above and beyond. Scott emailed, mailed AND sent a proof of service to the court. I used a process server on yelp because he received 299 great reviews, all 5 stars, paid him a good amount for a rush service and the service was not even close to the amazing job Scott did for me, I'd rather give Scott that money and know it'll be done right. I highly recommend AMBUSH Process Service, he took care of me in less than 72 hours. I'll continue to do business with him. read more

Absolutely amazing ! Scott had to deliver some documents for me on a totally short notice, and in the middle of the Holliday season . HE GOT THE JOB DONE WITHIN JUST A FEW SHORT HOURS !! I called Scott and he came by exactly around the time he said he will , was a pleasure meeting and work with . Scott is reliable, prompt, informative , professional AND affordable.i will hire him again when needed in a heart beat ! Thank you Scott. I HIGHLY recommend Ambush Process Serving company . read more

I have nothing but praise, for the business owner, Scott. I have a Civil Rights Violation Case in U.S. District Court Central District Western Division. I'm a Pro Se Litigant. Scott went very well beyond my expectations. He served the Attorney of Record for 13 Defendants, who tried to claim the owners of the property, that have been actively avoiding service, where I was subjected to a Hostile Living Environment, were only " Specially Appearing". During a Status Conference with Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero, the attorney claiming " Specially Appearing" was laughed at by the Judge, when she Informed him there is no such a thing as "Specially Appearing" in Federal Court. she gave him a week to speak with the owners, and they finally accepted service. I'm a Heterosexual Male that reported Same-Sex Sexual Harassment in Housing by an Illegal Immigrant working for LB Property Management Inc. Rather than stop the Stalking, in Order to Sexually Harass, LBPM hired an outside law firm Osuna & Dotson and after 3 Temporary Restraining Orders against this 6'3 320 Lbs Illegal Alien to stop him from Stalking me, in Order to Sexually Harass Me, Scumbag Attorneys Claudia Osuna and Juan Dotson used their Lying-Ass Process Server Antonio Salone to File a False Proof of Service on me, to get a Default Judgment that was then used as Just Cause in a Retaliatory Eviction case against me. After, I lost because Scumbag attorney Richard Daggenhurst used every Dirty Lawyer Trick in the Book, so that I would lose. I Appealed my T.R.O. Against Sexual Harasser, His case against me, and the Unlawful Detainer case. I was not successful on any of the Appeals. However, now that I Filed my case in Federal Court, at the Status Conference, The judge stated, "This is a case that needs to be settled." after 4 years of fighting all 13 Defendant Scumbags, I'm finally going to get what I deserve, Retribution, for the Violations of my Civil Rights. I was extremely lucky to have found Ambush Process Service. Scott is AWESOME !!! Would Highly Recommend. Look up my Case, 2:20-CV-03562-SVW-MAAx. This IS a Real Review. Scott, YOU ROCK !!! Thank you for providing Excellent Service. read more

Best process server in the valley in my opinion Scott always answers the phone, always has time to talk,and goes out of his way to help I recommend this company highly My review is based on them delivering 7-8 notices to tenants for me I'm very pleased read more

I have been using services for some time. Very reliable service and a friendly service. Especially good for small claims court where your proof of service is present by the hearing. They also assist in service that is not local. read more

Scott, the gentleman that runs this service, seems like a nice guy. That being said it seems like a one man operation (he answered the phone every time I called and seemed to be out and about) so I guess he can get bogged down. My main complaint was that I overnighted some papers to him on a Tuesday from Santa Monica to Van Nuys via FedEx. It took him nearly 9 days to serve them. When I asked about this he said that he hadn't received them until Friday. When I mentioned they were overnighted he changed his mind and said he got them on Thursday. His waffling convinced me he was being deceptive. You can make a decision for yourself: Do you trust FedEx, the big national delivery company, or Scott, the service processor? Update 11/27/2013: The owner of this business responded so let me clarify my position. Note that he has taken 6 months to do so, so he either has the worlds best notes (read on for documentation of his lack of detail) or he is simply trying to find excuses for his failure in service. First, I did overnight via FedEx. Maybe the mail clerk didn't put it in his box? I suppose anything is possible but you make your own judgment about the reliability of major mail services and whether this is likely. Second, I made it very clear both on the phone and in writing that the individual being served did not work on Fridays. The fact that he even attempted to serve at work on a Friday instead of at home shows either an inattention to detail or a lack of good faith. He was probably working in a area and just tried to serve as many people as possible. However, when you are paying for a set number of attempts and he ignores information like this, it could end up costing you money if he fails to serve the papers. Third, he is absolutely correct that I paid for his "standard" service. Nevertheless, prior to giving Scott my business I called and asked about the time frame in which my documents would be served. He said he would said they would be served quickly and his response indicated that they would be served within a few days of receipt. In short, the owner of this business has mischaracterized his dealings with me and I'm removing yet another star given that my primary complaint was deceptive and misleading business practices. read more

first, let me begin by providing a little context. i had hired another los angeles p.s. firm AND the los angeles sheriff's department to serve a gentleman in canoga park, and neither of them claimed they could find this man. so, needless to say, i found scott and "ambush" after my court date had been set back twice. so, having said all of that - i cannot say enough about how pleased i am with scott and his "ambush" service. from the very beginning, he was professional and pleasant and very easy to communicate with. during our first conversation, it became clear to me that he was a man who knew his business. and sure enough, only two days after i hired him, he successfully performed the process service on my defendant. a defendant who, by the way, TWO other firms had failed to locate. so, i am beyond impressed with scott and "ambush", and i will very happily hire him again anytime i ever need to serve someone in the los angeles area. his rate is very reasonable, he is extremely professional and courteous, and he very promptly notified me about the successful service. i wish i would have hired him from the beginning, because i could have spared myself A LOT of headache and frustration. so, to anyone reading this - do yourself a huge favor and hire "ambush" for your process service needs. you will definitely be grateful that you did!! read more

Would not use again, told me wrong agent to service and used another process server for non-local service which was overpriced

AMBUSH PROCESS SERVICE deserves ten stars! I had to have someone served. I called AMBUSH at 6 a.m. The owner was nice, courteous and he made it very easy for me to send in my paperwork and pay the reasonable fee. Within a couple of hours, my papers had been served. He even contacted me immediately after to follow up and notify me. If I ever need a service again, I will use AMBUSH PROCESS SERVICE! read more

My roommate and I wanted to serve court papers to our old property managers in an effort to collect on a judgment from last year. We called Scott for a quote and he explained that, although he was happy to stake out these people and and serve them the documents, there was a much easier way to collect money that did not involve going back to court. Even though he was essentially losing business, he took the time to break down in great detail the best way to go about our situation. He used to work at the Sheriff's office, so was not only familiar with the scumbags we wanted to serve, but also knows the simplest, most effective strategy for obtaining our money. If anyone needs a process server, I highly recommend Ambush Process Service! read more
