I needed some legal documents served. Called these folks at noon. Dropped them an e-mail with the documents to be served and contact information for person to be served. They called me back and I gave them my billing information. Later that day, I received an e-mail that they had served the person, the time they served them, and additional detail. In addition, they provided proof of service submitted to court. Richard and his team came through on a moments notice. I highly recommend this company for serving legal documents for hard to reach people! read more

Thank you Richard for amazing service. I have no idea what the negative reviews are all about because he got the job done quickly and for a great price. I had to serve two separate lawsuits to the same person and most places asked for double but Richard handled it all for one great price. Thank you again Richard for everything. read more

Yes - I have to agree with all the YELP advice. I wish I would have seen this prior to paying Richard. He promised to serve some documents and then they collected the funds upfront and NEVER served the documents and ghosted me. Yes, this will all come back to Richard one day. Horrible that he is taking advantage of so many people. read more

Richard is unprofessional, unresponsive, & avoidant!!!!! He asked for payment upfront. As soon as he cashed the payment he did not answer my calls, didn't acknowledge my voice messages & didn't reply to emails when I requested over & over to provide updates about my claim. He promised to make 5x attempts but only made 2. He never tried the 3 remaining attempts. Richard IGNORED MY calls, EMAILS & VOICE MESSAGES FOR WEEKS. When I finally got a hold of him, it was because I called from a different number, to which he answered IMMEDIATELY. His excuse was "oh sorry I have been busy". Sure, uh huh. Richard you ignored & ghosted me without explanation or update. RICHARD CAUSED ME TO MISS MY HEARING DATE. I wish I would've read these reviews prior to hiring him, he has ghosted customers numerous times. He has scammed many customers. DO NOT TRUST HIM. He will take advantage. I will gladly show receipts & share my horrible experience. I have proof in my call log & emails that show he did not respond for WEEKS. Besides stealing $$$$, ignoring me, & lying, he also kept MY ORIGINAL SMALL CLAIM LAWSUIT PAPERWORK AFTER HE PROMISED TO MAIL IT TO ME, NEVER MAILED THE DECLARATION OF DUE DILIGENCE EVEN THOUGH HE PROMISED HE WOULD. I requested over the telephone to return my claim documents & Dec. of Due Diligence & offered to send additional $$ for mailing costs to which he replied "I will send it, it's not necessary to send money you already paid". I emailed him to let him know that unless he refunded me & returned my documents, I would file a complaint against him, to which it fell to deaf ears, again. Richard has ignored me for months at this point, he made me miss my hearing date, he never updated me about what was happening with my claim, he kept my original documents, he never refunded me, & he never sent the final Declaration of Due Diligence, which I could've shoewed to the judge at my hearing as proof that I made attempts to serve the defendant. Richard triggered anxious mood in me, feelings of depression & hopelessness due to his lack of professionalism & no responses. I send him all of the anxiety, depression, and ill he caused me! As I put it out it is. HE IS NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD DO NOT TRUST HIM. LOOK FOR A LEGIT COMPANY. THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER. HE IS A JOTO. read more

See all

I can't believe it!!!! They promised to serve some documents and then they collected all of the money upfront and NEVER served the documents and ghosted me! I can't afford to pay for their fee to begin with and then they do this!!!!! KARMA read more

Cal Process Servers solved my problem. They served eBay so that I can sue them in small claims court. The previous server company did not know how to find a corporation. I paid good money to the other people then ended up in court where the judge said I had not properly served eBay. Cal Process did a very professional job quickly efficiently and sent the appropriate documents to me and the court. Highly recommended. read more

I know when you deal with process servers you're not getting the service you expect. They're flaky and it's hard to trust them. But Richard was the exception for me. He returned my call a couple of hours after I left a message. He was near me and he came right away to meet me. He served the person and called to tell me it was done. It was a Friday and he told me he would send me the paperwork on Monday morning, which he did. It couldn't have been any smoother. I had an excellent experience with Cal Process thanks to Richard!!! read more

No communication after payment is received. #scammer save your money. Literally any person with a pulse would be more likely to complete service. read more

Richard was great to work with. If he doesn't respond, make sure to nudge him! He'll get the job done. We hired him for 2 tenants, and with persistence, they were both served. Thank you so much! read more

Excellent job .. saved me from a lot of stress since the police couldn't do it them selves!!!

I used Cal Process for a service and although there were some hiccups, the mission was accomplished! And after all thats what we want right? The service was a difficult one on two people but Cal Process persevered! You may reach out and not get an immediate response regarding status but this server has very good way of process serving so he gets very focused on his mission to complete the service! Overall I highly recommend him just be patient and let him do his job. In the end it will all work out in your favor! read more

BEWARE!!! I paid Richard Stebier on August 19th to help serve the defendant. I haven't heard from him since. I tried calling multiple times but no answer! I tried reaching out by email but no answer! Now it's looking like I have to post pone my court date because of this! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL read more

Only reason I got one star is cuz the guy answered the phone, that's the last I ever heard, drop the docs off at a remote UPS store, paid my $75, had to call and get my payment confirmed by him, that was the end of it no phone calls return no text message returned no email responded to, money and documents disappeared. In Reading other reviews, this is not the first time this has happened with the sky, now I have to have the server served read more

I highly recommend this process server company. I've used them several times and each time they were professional, responsive, and even provided same day service! They got the job done efficiently and with no hiccups which made a stressful situation go away. Thank you Richard Stieber for helping me through a very difficult time. read more

I found this company on line to assist with serving someone and as of today it has been the absolute worst service by Richard. He charged me the fee upfront and never provided an update until I would call him. Then my time expired and I had to ask the court for an extension and as of today o have yet to hear from, Richard. He has NOT responded to any of my calls or emails. Bad service!!! read more

I needed a process service in Orange County, California although the Landlord-Tenant case was filed in Superior Court in San Diego County. Richard Steiber had a difficult time reaching the contact. it took two services; one which was pro-bono. I appreciate his diligence to get the service done. It took almost a year for the case to be settled via a Virtual Hearing. I have to write a special thank you for work well done. Happy to let you know that I won the case with Cal Process Servers' help. read more

I have reached out to Richard numerous times and have not had any responses. He was quick to respond when he needed payment upfront, but since then he has not been responsive. Not sure what happened to Richard, but the fact that he can't respond to my inquiries are very frustrating. read more

I was finally contacted. Happy to know my papers were served even when the respondent refused the paperwork.

BEWARE!!!!! I hired Richard to serve some family court documents. The only communication I got from him was to confirm my payment and he answered one phone call. I have been trying to reach him for weeks without any response. If he couldn't serve the papers why not just tell me that and let me have my documents back so I can find an alternative way to have them served. Totally unreliable and unprofessional! read more

Have used them for nearly two decades after meeting the owner in early 2000. Over that time I have had mostly routine service requests, without issue. Unfortunately, a recent situation arose that required multiple trips, literal surveillance, and what is likely described as either avoidance or eluding of service. Nonetheless, after numerous attempts, dinner knocks, etc the service was completed before the deadline. Given time this company and the team made it happen and during a pandemic lock down in place. Definitely worth the time to leave feedback and the highest rating. Thank you. read more

First and foremost, the communication with Richard was professional and unfaltering. From beginning to end the process serving job I entrusted to him was completed and I was informed consistently. I would not hesitate to recommend Cal Process and Richard Steiber in particular. read more

Cal Process Servers were truly easy to talk to, very professional and Richard explained everything I needed to know before serving my papers. I'm most impressed at how Richard went out of his way by going out to the house twice in one day, in order to grant me a piece of mind, that my papers were delivered! I would highly recommend Cal Process Servers to all my family and friends. Thank you Richard, your simply the best at what you do!!!! Your forever fan, Dawn E. read more

I used this company last week and they sew amazing! They got the person that I needed served in time for my court date. I'm very thankful for using them and will use them again!! read more

DO NOT EMPLOY THIS COMPANY!!!! I RUSHED DOCUMENTS AND EXCHANGED SEVERAL EMAILS WITH THESE CLOWNS...ONLY TO GET NO RESPONSE, AND THEY MISSED SERVING THE PARTIES, BUT THEY ARE SORRY..... THIS IS SOOOO UNACCEPTABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE. here is their response to screwing up 2 cases and not doing a simple task... Sorry, did not realize we only had technically one day to serve this, originally when we spoke I thought you were going to fax or email copies, I also thought we spoke about re-setting the hearing date, we received Monday and I did not see the court date until too late, had to be served by Tuesday end of day, I dropped the ball sorry, saw the first court date and assumed they were both on same date, ugh.

You got served! Great job. Had a very difficult person to serve. She was either a ninja or a type of person who knew she was guilty and refused to answer the door to anyone because she knew she was getting served I originally had a sheriff served the court documents. They made 3 attempts and failed. I did decided to try myself with a friend. We made 2 attempts and gave up. This was just too much work and we had better things to do than to stalk an old lady. Better have the professionals do it. Did a lot of researching on craigslist and a lot of people were just charging way too much for the service with no guarantees. This place offered a very competitive rate with 5 attempts. This would have been my final attempt before cancelling my claim. So I gave them a try. I didn't expect much knowing how that defendant was. At the very last attempt, success! Now, lets see if this Ninja shows up to court or not. read more

Very knowledgeable, courteous and prompt action. A pleasure to do business with. Thanks!

Cal Process and Richard were such great help during these stressful times. He was able to deliver the Proof of Service the very next day. I highly recommend Cal Process!! read more

I highly recommend this company. Richard went above and beyond to assist me in serving papers and giving me advice and serving the papers before the deadline date. read more

Amazing customer service! I highly recommend this company. I have never sued anyone, and Richard just went above and beyond giving me advice on the entire process. I paid the sheriffs dept. to serve the defendent and they couldn't find him. Cal Process Servers did it in 2 days and they sent proof to court house and to me. I spoke to Richard the day before my hearing and he explained the mediation process, which I never heard of before. Thank you so much for caring about your clients. If I ever have to sue anyone again, I will defintly go to Cal Process Servers first. read more

KEEP AWAY from this company the Cal Process One star is way too high for this company We asked them to serve the defendant and we paid the fee they asked for that service. We provided description of the people and pictures of the place so he knows which entries to target. After over 3 weeks, this company said they attempted 5 times with no success and then said that if we want him to try it again, we will need to pay again with no promises that he will succeed or change his approach to the serving. By the way he does not have time to stay in front of the defendant's home for even 30 minutes. Well I don't like to pay twice for a service I didn't get and am not likely to receive. So I contacted a different company which serves this client with no time. I called Cal Process and asked for a refund but they were rude and yelled at me before hanging up on me. If you still want to work with Cal Process, good luck to you read more

Had to serve my landlords, since they decided that they would not give us our security deposits back. It is already a stressful situation since we live in Sacramento, and they live in either Glendale or La Niguel (they like to use multiple addresses to throw people off I guess). Tried one address, and it of course was completely vacant. Found another address, and Richard got the job done. The landlord did not answer the door (or wasn't there), so he served one of her family members. He's also extremely knowledgeable in answering whatever questions I had, since this is the first time I have ever had to do this. read more

These guys are the best. Very fast, very professional, very good. Richard gave me great advice, and was very helpful in this process. I highly recommend them for an excellent job. read more

Very professional company. Richard got the job done and goes beyond the minimum. I too had a stealth person to serve and he professionally accomplished the task and didn't give up after three attempts. The law has a presumption that a process server has done his/her job professionally and they are certified in the state. Much better to rely on Richard Steiber and his company to accomplish the task --- especially given that when matters reach this point, it is a volatile situation. He even had to come to court to testify after the person lied and said she had never seen him before and disputed service to vacate the entry of judgment. The judge credited his testimony and the judge could see that he takes his work seriously. Any negative reviews discussed below should be questioned as not reliable --- truly. read more

Took weeks, upon weeks to serve a 55 year old non-fugitive female at her residence. NEVER, EVER got served, did a mail & nail and then had to follow up to make sure docs were sent to me & court about the attempts log, etc. I had to send docs to court myself just for backup certainty. I hired a friend who "delivered" birthday flowers and got access first attempt. Had to have them fill out court notarized process docs. Would't meet me to help maneuver the "serving". Never again read more
