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

So after FOUR attempts, the sheriff was unable to serve someone so I decided to give Ambush a try. Within a DAY it was done. Everything was filed properly with the court, and never once did I even have to speak to anyone! I really hate unnecessary phone calls, and I was able to send a couple of quick emails and check this part of a really annoying task off of my list. Thank you Ambush! read more

I LOVE Ambush Process service!! Scott had my tenants served almost as quick as I got him the paperwork. He also seems to have as much knowledge as most the eviction attorneys I have dealt with. I will be using him again the nest time I have to evict a tenant. read more

DON'T USE ANYONE ELSE! Scott is the man. After I tried another process server (who was rated pretty high on Yelp) was unsuccessful, I called Scott at Ambush. It was served THE NEXT DAY!!! The person wasn't even living at the residence I believe he was. Scott was able to track him down and DONE DEAL. I highly recommend Scott to any and all. THANKS SCOTT -- WELL DONE! read more

I called a another company and was told it was $85 and they would make one attempt. I called Scott and he said it was $65 and they would make 4 attempts. Two days later the job was done. Dont waste your time using anyone else. read more

DON"T USE ANYONE ELSE!!!!! Scott did a great job serving my TRO. He scouted for days finding this person and finally got them at their job. It brought great relief to know that he did something that the Sheriff's Department couldn't do because of their demands read more

Just wanted to leave a stellar review for Scott & his company Ambush Process services. I had to use the sheriff to serve court papers and had no luck... The sheriff told me to use a private process server and Scott had a lot of good reviews... He was very efficient and I could recommend to me more read more

I am so grateful to have found Ambush on yelp. Scott is efficient, effective and reasonable. I couldn't have asked for better service.

This guy is great. He got the summons delivered faster than I expected - - I think it was the next day, and he did the extra detective work to find the recipient who had moved since the last address I had been able to find. He was easy to deal with straightforward and I can't say enough good about Ambush Process Service. You can be confident about this company. read more

Fast, efficient, friendly and easy to use service. After 2 failed attempts of service by Sheriff and having to get the court date postponed due to non service, I contacted Scott at Ambush Process Service and he was able to locate the defendant and have him served! I was able to scan and send documents over email and made payment securely through his website. We will surely be using his services again if the need arises. read more

Outstanding service! Needed Scott to serve small claims papers to our Defendant and he got it done quickly, with great communication, and at a fair price. He also sent both me and the Court copies of his Proof of Service, saving me one extra step. Thanks, Scott! read more

I found this guy here on Yelp and was not disappointed. I spoke to him Monday night, and my papers were served by Tuesday night. It was so easy and worth it. They even had to do a small stake out because the defendants were being dodgy. Talk about fantastic Service! I wish I would have done this 4 months ago when I originally filed, and would have saved myself so much wasted time and stress. I had even paid the Sheriff to try and serve them but that didn't work, nor did having a friend do it, nor did certified mail. I had to move our court date twice, they were being so difficult. If I could give these guys 10 stars I would! read more

I've had the sheriff do the process serving and fail three times I called Scott and he was very attentive from the very beginning yes all the right questions and responded to my liking that night Scott was on his job he did the process serving successfully and I was extremely content and happy with his services I would definitely recommend ambush for any legal process serving. Thank you Scott read more

I was very worried about serving our tenants because there were two of them in one house. It could have been a mess of serving one and not the other and drag on and on. I met Scott on a friday afternoon and he served them both on that Sunday. He is quick and I was very happy with his work. Thank you Scott! Kate Brower read more

Scott did the job efficiently and did not give up on his first try at the first address. He waited patiently in the lobby of the defendant's work location and got the job DONE. I would recommend him to anyone. He is good! And reasonable. And offered advice besides all of that. read more

I have used Scott twice now and plan to use him in the future. He gets the job done and is professional.

These guys are great for four reasons: 1) Got the job done on the first try 2) Excellent communication skills 3) Very competitive pricing 4) Included the mailing of the proof of service to the court In regards to #2 and #4, I previously hired a process server who got them served, but who failed to tell me that I needed to mail in the proof of service, and that they had not done that. I had thus learnt the hard way that this needed to be done, as I had shown up to court and found that my case wasn't being heard (due to the failure to deliver proof of service). So when I went to Ambush Process Service's website, and they made this very clear that it needed to be done, and the person I spoke to mentioned that it was included in the price without prompting, I was really impressed. After delivering service they followed up with proof of service, and mentioned again that it had been mailed to the court. These guys know how to take care of their customers, at least some of whom will not be experts on going to small claims court (not something I'd ever want to be an expert in). So I can honestly and fully recommend these guys. read more

I needed to complete a process of service and went to yelp to get it done. I chose Ambush and it was completed in short order, with a receipt in the mail to me complete with instructions on how to follow up with the court. Thanks Ambush! read more

I find AMBUSH Process Service to be a great company. They are friendly, quick and computer friendly. If you find that you need to process papers with the court... they are the best. They take care of it for you. They Specialize in Process Servers for the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Simi Valleys. I trust Scott George to handle it and it all can be done through your Paypal account... read more

I am happy with the service, just make sure you use the email because the provided phone number has some issues, everything worked out for me. read more

My service is was very quick. Was lucky for him to respond the next day. Very profession. Satisfied costumer.

Scott was great. He served my papers the same time I emailed them to him even though I did not pay for expedited processing. He also went above and beyond in that he realized that the property management company I served was doing business under a different name than the one they used in my lease and notified me. I know from past experience that can cause big problems later if you don't name the company exactly right--even when they use another name. read more

I'm very happy with the service I received. Professional. Competent. And he actually served my party on New Year's Eve and didn't charge me extra. He properly completed the Proof of Service and got it back to me immediately. He answers his phone and his email. I'm very impressed. I hesitated after reading a couple of bad reviews, but I will definitely call him again. Nothing in any bad review applied to my experience with Scott. read more

I had a restraining order that needed to be served outside my county, Scott was extremely fast and very informative. Emailed the paperwork today at 3:30pm and received confirmation of service by 8:00pm. Very satisfied customer, I hope I don't have to serve anyone again but if I do I'll defiantly use Ambush Process Service. Highly recommended. read more

Scott is very courteous and professional the best part is his communication and speed of service he is the best! I don't know him and only went on reviews by people about him on yelp and its all true he is a great person to work with. I would highly recommend him! read more

Scott took our order via e-mail, paid via PayPal, we couldn't have served anyone easier and with such professional service. He rocks!

I Live in San Francisco, have a rental property in San Fernando Valley. Scott took care of my unlawful detainer problem, from serving the notices to being there for the sheriff eviction. Very reliable and dependable, THANK YOU SCOTT!!! read more

Scott got the papers served quickly on a person who is hard to track down!! Highly recommend using him to get your legal work taken care of!! read more

They did what I was not able to do for a long time. No matter what method I chose. Highly recommend

BEWARE! I paid Scott with a tip to serve a person. I didn't hear from him and my court date came and went. He never updated me during the whole process. In fact he went on a vacation then got upset when I complained and asked for my money back. He's nice when it's time to pay but isn't when held accountable. He actually hung up on me twice and then turned off his phone. He behaved as if my experience wasn't his first. read more

After paying for two service fees, I traveled out of state for a court case only to have the judge dismiss the case because the defendant was not properly served. Now I have to start from scratch and pay all court fees again. Asked for a refund and received a sarcastic/rude response. Not professional. Not recommended. read more

Scott is the best! I cannot recommend him enough-no matter who you are serving he will have a plan to serve them, because not only does he know people, he has a background in law enforcement. He also has a lot of integrity-rare these days-and he will tell you if the job is even worth it. In my case the person has had 33 cases against him, and evades service-so he said even getting a judgment doesn't mean I'd get the money owed to me. That being said I'd use and recommend him for any other case or person I know. I'd give him 10 stars if I could! read more

I tried using USPS and then the Sheriff's Office. Both failed. The Judge (Small Claims) said he would accept Substitute Service (but not publication in a legal journal). I called Scott on a Sunday and he talked with me about the specifics of my case as it relates to Service. He was very upfront that because of circumstances he wasn't sure if Service would be possible. I was very surprised that in less than a week he had successfully served the other party and sent the documentation to the Court. I highly recommend AMBUSH if you are unfortunate enough to need their services. I was sceptical about all the 5 star reviews, but they are deserved. read more

Scott was very helpful and served my court papers promptly within two days or so. I hope I never have to use a process server again but if I do, and it's in his area, it will be him. read more

Scott did an excellent job helping me serve my ex court papers. I met with him and we went to serve my ex that same day. Unfortunately my ex didn't answer the door, just as he did when Sheriff tried to serve him at home, but Scott was patient and we set up another day to get him served. If you are somewhat on speaking terms with the person you want served you can have them meet you somewhere, like a coffee shop, and as soon as he/she is seated, Scott will be in the background ready to ambush serve him, which is what we did, and it worked perfectly. I got him served on the 2nd try and felt protected having Scott there. Highly recommend this service! read more

I contacted Scott in late September regarding serving a corporation. I was new at legal procedures. I was the Plaintiff in a lawsuit, and I knew that the Proof of Service was an important document in the file. Scott met with me the following day, and actually served the documents on the day after that. I received my copy of the Proof of Service today, and I could not be a more satisfied customer. Please consider Scott when you need a process server. He helped me get the file in order, helped me determine the correct agent to be served (for a corporation). I highly recommend him. Frances read more

Based on the Yelp reviews, I trusted Scott by trying my best not to bug him over the phone/email. It was my first time using a process service so I didn't know the timetable of the whole process. Scott handled everything in a timely manner and is definitely worth the cost. Hopefully I won't have to use his services again but if I do, I'm not going to hesitate to use AMBUSH Process Service again. read more

Highly recommend! So grateful to AMBUSH for their incredibly efficient service!

I am amazed! We live behind guarded gates and our neighbor had no reason to open their door. I truly thought serving them for our small claims case was going to be impossible. I do not know how Scott was able to serve, but true to all the other reviews, with in 72hrs it was done. I sent him the papers via email and paid via paypal, I offered to give him the copies I had made at the court, he only needed the email and payment. 48 hours later I get an email stating both neighbors had been served, that my proof of service was in my mail and a copy was sent to the court, instructions on how to confirm that the court receives it, etc. Very impressed. The reason we didn't go with the court sheriff is that they where 2-3 weeks behind and I didn't want to chance it, especially after reading reviews about them loosing papers, etc. I am glad I chose Ambush! Will highly recommend their service to anyone needing to serve papers. read more

Please hire AMBUSH PROCESS SERVICE if you need the service in LA area. I called Scott to help me serving a company in Burbank so I thought, but he found out that I had the wrong address of whom I was suing. Scott investigated for me and sent all the correct information to me for FREE and FAST. Its very hard to find good people like Scott in this world anymore. read more
