Would give zero stars if an option. Hired David Owens to serve the registered agent for a company in a Weld County, Colorado small claims case. I received an email that D.Owens had found the said registered agent and defendant, but chose not to serve the defendant the court papers because the defendant stated he was not the owner of the company, likely lying to avoid being served! The registered agent is documented on the Secretary of State website as the representative for the companies and is who should be served when a business is involved as written the "Summons to Appear for trial and for service of this notice." In addition, the companies and registered agent all list the same address. David Owen's mistake in failing to serve the defendant has delayed my court case, a need to refile, and pay additional fees to a competent server to do the job correctly. It didn't matter if the defendant was the company owner or the president of the United States! All David Owen needed to do was serve the defendant in the paperwork, which he failed to do! David Owens has refused to return my phone calls, messages, and emails regarding this action. Ghosted me! Do not do business with David Owens and Associate. A waste of time and money! My opinion of my terrible experience with D.E.Owens and Associates! read more

The most incompetent and unprofessional experience I've ever had. David (the owner) wasted 2 weeks of my time before telling me he couldn't find the apartment and was too busy with other jobs to make any additional attempts. He drove to the parking lot once and didn't even go up to their apartment to attempt to serve them. I hired a 2nd process server who had no trouble finding the apartment and serving them within less than a week. David refused to refund my money and said that the 1 'attempt' he made was good enough. Apparently the plan stating 4 attempts would be made within a week is just a suggestion, not a guarantee. He even charged me more than the 2nd process server that actually did what they were paid to do. Save your money and avoid like the plague. read more

I tried for months to get someone served who keeps unusual work hours. I called David Owens and he served the papers in less than 24 hours after my first call to him. I highly recommend him. He gets the job done and at breakneck speed. read more

I work for a County Attorney in another state. I needed a man served within 5 days. I started calling servers in Weld County. When a business can't answer their phone or tells me to leave a message, I hang up and move on. My fourth call was to David Owen. We discussed my needs and he said he would get on the job immediately. He was professional and very thorough. He kept me informed every step of the way. He even wore a body cam and gave me GPS coordinates! He let me know the first attempt was unsuccessful and what he learned while he was at the site. He gave excellent customer service and I will hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again for a job well done David! read more

I called David as a last resort and damn was he ready! I had to encourage the guy to enjoy and finish eating his pizza before coming to meet me to discuss details because he was sloppily smacking and chewing while talking to me. David finally showed up at my work. I was admittedly taken aback when we met, as I was under the impression this particular field of work was meant to carry at least a modicum of intimidation by way of appearance. He's joking about meeting me at a bar to handle parental concerns. I explained that I worked for a different company in the warehouse that also is a massive brewery, but I don't think he got that. He proceeded to tell me about a previous case where he served a woman papers at a bar and the many "comical" details involved in that scenario. I needed papers served and was assured it would happen that same day, hence the $70 + $10 out of kindness for disrupting his pizza with my call. The first attempt was a total fail and he recited all that happened. There was no chance to have papers served to this person. David's "inconspicuous" approach raised all levels of awareness. I called him to rehearse efforts once again, at a different location for the following morning. ....another failed attempt. At this point I knew this was awash and asked for my money back due to failure to provide services. He declined to do so. He was also incredibly difficult to get my unserved documents from for several days after. That weekend I'm working on my vehicle and I see David pull up across the street from my home. He gets out and begins to approach me and asks, by name, if I am the person he just named. I'm laughing and smiling in this moment, as David proceeds to hand me papers and notifies me that I have been served. I called this man a coward and asked for my documents back from his engagement with me, to which he quietly went to his car and brought back over. Fast forward some time, the other person in this situation shared with me messages from David, asking, "does your ex fly off the rails frequently". Other comments about my integrity on account of "meeting him at a bar..." Overall, I found David to be rather unprofessional and immensely unhelpful. Not someone I'd recommend. read more

David from D.E. Owens and Associate is very knowledgeable in the laws regarding the service of process. He helped me serve my papers.
