Rui is genuinely authentic, blunt and balls. Love his straight shooting confidence. More so, he is honest and dependable and give you the way it is even if news isn't one you like to hear. His skip trace unearthed stuff that swift legal never yielded. That alone saved me time and energy. Key when working in a precarious world we live. read more

Beware of the many reviews on here from accounts that have only ever reviewed one business: this one! It is highly suspect that all but one of this business's Google reviews are 5 stars, especially since many of those 5-star reviews are from accounts that have only ever rated this particular business. It may very well be bought/bot reviews and the business owner's very own alternate accounts! TL;DR version: I will need to request another court date and likely will end up paying to file one of my documents all over again all thanks to this process service. Full version: Roy is an all-talk-no-action process server that does not do much except talk about himself and complain about the price of diesel. If diesel is all that expensive, you would think he would only use the full surveillance truck when it's a private investigation pursuit or a workers' comp case, but I digress. I lost time and money taking this guy's advice and utilizing his legal process service for my case. Roy has twice told me to request a new court date from the court clerk. All the while, the court clerk cannot issue a motion for continuance and set a new date; it has to be the judge. It's kind of shocking that despite the 30 years or whatever he's been doing this and his know-it-all attitude that he didn't know that. Then after causing my court case to drag on TWICE by not serving the papers and wasting my time twice by barking orders based on misinformation, he had the nerve to call me stupid for asking him if it could be served at work to the individual's supervisor, as a previous document had been served in this manner. Very rude and unprofessional, he kept telling me it needed to be served by a process server or sheriff over and over, which I already knew and was why I was utilizing his service in the first place. I realized he meant it must be served personally by the process server, so when he kept on asking if I wanted him to serve it to the supervisor, in other words improperly, after I clearly understood it had to be served personally. I said, no, I don't want that if that's not the proper way. That is when he asked if I was stupid and said he didn't want to work with me. I don't need this nonsense. I already have enough stress with this and another claim/case due to aggressive ignoramuses on the roads of San Jose totaling my vehicle (100% other party's fault). We all have problems, but the guy behind this process service company will make his problems yours, as a customer, and takes out his frustrations on his clients. read more

Asked Rui from Bay Area Process Servers to serve twice, one for small claim and one for order of examination, and during both cases Rui provided good communication and fast turnaround. The last one even had video evidence that recorded the whole service. Proofs of service were also filed with the court just a few days after, which made it easy for me to pull the proof directly from court portal. I cannot recommend Rui enough! read more

If you need someone served, you've found the guy to do it. Rui is in a league of his own. I've used him on challenging serves and he gets the job done. read more

Update! Thanks to Roy/Rui of Bay Area Process Servers, my case had a happy ending. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but a judgement finally resulted in the defendant having to pay me (plaintiff) to make things right. read more

Bay Area Process Servers - Process Servers Near Me

Highly recommend Bay Area Process servers. Service exceeded expectations in all areas. They found and served my person once in a heated situation with little to no timetable or location. So I used them again when my need was for more of a formality service with time/local information present. Both times were handled swiftly and with professionalism. They handle Legal follow through expertly. When situations are thick, the peace of mind in knowing the proper, considerate, and thorough service is complete, is arelief read more

I really appreciated the service from Bay Area Process Servers. They don't BS, and they get things done. We recently won a small claims case, but unfortunately, we had first fallen prey to a notorious process server in downtown San Jose who charged us money for doing absolutely nothing. When I reached out to Rui, he did his best to help and kept me informed every step of the way. They even suggested we not waste our money if the defendant couldn't be located for sure--honesty like that is rare these days. If I have any future legal needs, I will definitely rely on them. I truly feel like I owe them for all the extra time they spent helping me get things back on track. read more

I can't described enough of gratitude words for Roy. He is a Godsend and my saver to help me serving the court paper when I don't even know where the other person leave.

He is very knowledgeable of what he does and has good heart for helping people. I really appreciate his service and would highly recommend if anyone is looking for the service. read more

Roy is exceptional! He has great follow up and gets the job done quickly. I highly recommend him for all of your process service needs. read more

Guy seemed hyperventilated the whole time. He refused to work with me after being asked for clarification about what in the documents he received was not to his liking--he kept repeating something that was technically incorrect about "a PDF format"--and unfortunately, after asking a couple of times if he could describe the issue in layman's terms, as tech details were clearly out of his depth, he became too frustrated and refused to work on the case at all. They definitely sounded like the Boston PI you see in the movies, so I was excited to see them in action despite their price being 10x that of other providers (only getting paid once they finished the job, which sold it to me), but I will never know if they walk the walk. read more

Called Rui and he did not return my call until after 3 more attempt. He is busy serving other clients. I waited for the best and got the best service in town. He did serve my court papers in two hours and had a video showing it was done. He only charged a fee of $300 and I paid him $600 for doing the impossible. The crook he served was leaving out of the county for a very long vacation and I did not have a clear address. The crook was smart and slippery to serve and was carful on being served. This job needed the best of the best in getting the crook served fast. Rui did it fast as promised using his skills he learned over years of doing his job. Do yourself a favor and hire the best if you need it done now on time with no delays or extra charges. Thank you again Rui for catching this crook before he ran away. Clever use of using a delivery van with a fake overnight package to draw the guy into being served. This server know how to catch a crook. read more

If you want the job done right, don't waste time or energy monkeying around with process servers assigned through the court system. Hire Rui directly--and do it before the person being served catches wind of what's coming. Rui is the definition of patience and professionalism. He knows how to wait, watch, and move at just the right moment. Eventually, the one being served will slip up--and when they do, Rui will be there. The moment you see the video, hear the words, "Process server--you've been served," and realize it's finally done, you'll smile and let out a huge sigh of relief. Rui gets results. Period. read more

I called Roy this morning to speak to him about my friend's case and he went above and beyond to take time to explain things to me and what he would do if he were in my friend's position. He knows his stuff!! No nonsense, and will get the job done I'm sure. I have not used his services, this review is just for taking extra time that he did not need to, to talk to me. Thank you Roy! read more

Rui is the absolute best. Don't waste time with any other process servers who don't guarantee service. I called Rui, gave him some information about my case and within 2 days he served the guy and provided a video of the service as well. He's more than worth the price due to his service and reliability! Most importantly Rui GUARANTEES service unlike the other company who gave 3 mediocre attempts before giving up. Go with Rui every time! read more

Rui is the best process server. He always serves in person and gets it done right. I am glad to hire him.

Unbelievable, Mr.Roy guaranteed his works SUCCESSFULLY and he also help me testify at my hearing court day. I always compliment Bay Area Skip Tracing and Process Servers. read more

Roy deserves the 5 stars! He was the only person who had reasonable rates and had the guts to go to a rough part of Oakland to serve legal papers. Upon my husband's initial call with Roy, he knew Roy was the right person for the job, he had that bulldog in him. We didn't want a wishy washy servicer, we needed someone to get the job done. We felt at ease going with Roy. He served the papers very fast and got proof on video! Roy is the man, he won't beat around. read more

Roy is excellent. Don't call anyone else. Roy gets the job done. I spoke with him this morning and he served the defendant tonight. I was surprised that he was so professional and so efficient. That is what you want is a processor server. His prices are fair. He tells you up front what he's going to charge. He charged exactly what he said he would charge. Honest, efficient, and professional. You pay after the job done no money up front. Thank you Roy! read more

Rui is the absolute best. I had to serve a guy with an extensive criminal record and has been in trouble in several states. He's real elusive and I had doubts whether or not he's servable but Rui did it within only a few hours after I called him. He sends proof and updates along the way also. You also don't pay until he's served. So don't bother calling anyone else. Rui is the man if you need anything! read more

Standing ovation, formal bow AND major handclaps. Roy answered my email within 36 hours (I told him it wasn't urgent) followed by a text , answered all my questions, scheduled a time for him to pickup papers and within approximately 1 hour I got a video of the person being served! All of this happened within 48 hours. Roy, is a man of his words. He said he would get it done and he did. I had attempted to have the idiot served twice. He evaded both times. After that I spent a week talking to about 5 other companies and didn't feel that I got the answers I was looking for. Btw very reasonable $$ Roy, I can't thank you enough for taking the weight off my shoulders. ‍ read more

I went with Rui for the peace of mind. Rui was a bit higher cost than some others, but he had one price to take care of the service no matter what it took. I also waited longer than I should have to have the party served. Rui came through with flying colors. He already had a backup plan to serve him in a different location if he tried to hide from being served at his place of business. He even gave me some great tips on the court and the judge. I think I sent the docs on a Wednesday. He had the service done by Friday and recorded with the court by Monday. Well worth it and I will use him again. read more

If Roy tells you he's gonna get the job done....HE IS! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a process server to reach out to him. Was in contact with me through out the whole process with constant updates. It's a dangerous job and I no harm ever comes his way. Thank you Roy for everthing read more

Roy is amazing. After another process server failed to deliver over 15 days, I called Roy, sent him my files, and he had my defendant served the next day. Clear, quick communication. No nonsense. Guaranteed service. Honest pricing. You can't ask for more. read more

Rui was able to help me serve a homeless person. He got the job done on the 2nd day & sent proof. Highly recommend!

Roy's exceptional service as a process server exceeded my expectations!! After submitting an inquiry late in the evening, he responded promptly the next morning and we spoke on the phone shortly after. Despite my previous unsuccessful attempts to track down the person who rear-ended me, Roy quickly found their location and provided an update just three hours later. I'm not familiar with this process, but I genuinely was not expecting an update until a week later. Not only that, but he was able to serve the person later that evening... so this was completed less than 7 hours from our first phone call!! I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and effectiveness of Roy's work, especially since it was on the Fourth of July. His professionalism, guidance on the court process, and helpful advice made the entire experience smooth and relieving. I highly recommend Roy's services, and he definitely deserves a 5/5 rating!! read more

Roy was excellent !!! I hired him Friday and they were served Saturday!! Boom . He sent the video proof and had my proofs emailed to me the same day. I would never hire anyone else. Look at all the 5 star reviews. He is a professional through and through. I'm hoping I don't need his services again but if I need anything served, he's the man for the job. He knows everything about the court forms, deadlines, what to do if if you don't receive a payout after you win in court. He's excellent!! You can't go wrong. All of these 5 star reviews can't be wrong. read more

Finding a process server was difficult as this was my first time needing this kind of service. I had used another process server (Maurice with M&R Process Service) but it turns out that he was a scammer. I wasted valuable time waiting for my documents to be served and he never got it done. I found Roy's company and gave him a call. He is very ethical, legit and can guarantee his work. He offered some great advice, especially never pay until the papers are served. I highly recommend him for anyone needing a fast and reliable process server. read more

I would give a million stars if I could! And I never been more happier to leave a Yelp review. If you need to hire a server look no further! Roy and his team are fantastic.
