It took you 6 days to tell us you cannot accommodate our request knowing a life was at risk. 6 days you took our money and for 6 days you waited to tell us you could not accommodate our requests. Within those 6 days I could hired a professional company who would have said from the start yes or no. You choose to wait 6 days. 6 days to say no. And yes my gut feeling did and does feel you know the person. No length of response from you will change my opinion of this company. Again 6 days for you to read our emails. 6 days for your to call and verify everything. 6 days for you to hold our money and prolong additional help. Thankful the second process server is actually doing their job. Communication on a daily pictures of locations and text messaged. Communication. Which you won't get here.

Strongly recommended business to use.

I originally provided 2 addresses where I thought the defendant might be, I was told $110.00 for 5 attempts at any address. I asked for the skip trace since I wasn't sure of the defendants correct address but was advised to wait. Well the skip trace was necessary and with still 2 attempts left, I got charged an additional $85 for them to attempt at a new address. Total cost: $370! I could have saved myself $85+ if they gave me all this info and the correct info up front.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Anh and the incredible support she provided throughout…read moreour adoption journey. From the very beginning, Anh was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and compassionate. She guided us through every step of the process, answered our questions promptly, and helped ensure that all of the paperwork was completed accurately and on time. Adoption can be an emotional and sometimes overwhelming process, but Anh made everything much easier by providing clear guidance and constant support. Her attention to detail and dedication gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire experience. Thanks to Anh's hard work and commitment, our adoption was successfully finalized, and we are forever grateful for the role she played in helping our family reach this special milestone. We highly recommend Anh to anyone seeking a paralegal who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals. Thank you, Anh, for helping make our family's dream come true.

K-1 visa, dealing with the US Embassy in Greece, getting married here, and then filing for Adjustment of Status. It's A LOT paperwork and back and forth. Anh was our main point of contact the whole time and she was amazing. She handled basically everything document-related and was the one communicating with USCIS and the embassy for us. I feel like without her, we would have been completely lost or second guessing everything we submitted. She would tell us exactly what we needed, when we needed it, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Anytime we had questions or were confused, she got back to us and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. We always felt like we were in good hands. If you're going through the K-1 visa process or anything immigration-related, I definitely recommend working with them! Thanks Anh, Eric, and Dan. We're celebrating our first wedding anniversary because of you guys!

They sent the Corporate service out without even confirming who they were sending it to and served the incorrect entity. Unbeknownst by me, the company that I was suing was sold and as a layman I had no way of knowing that. That sale also created a change in legal representation so the Summons was rejected. When I called to complain about the incorrect service these people had the gall to tell me that "You should have checked the Secretary of State website for confirmation." I then ask them why they didn't confirm the corporate service, themselves, before sending out my document. I was told "You would have had to request that service." I have to REQUEST for you to be thorough? So know that you must request courtesy service with these people. As a result, I posted a negative review about the poor corporate service before they attempted to serve my residential document. They FAILED TO SERVE on ALL SIX ATTEMPTS. And to add insult to injury they didn't even inform me as to when they finished the process. I had to call for confirmation and just barely made my legal deadline. They claim to have mailed me the confirmation a month earlier but they lie. I am THE ONLY person with a key to my mailbox and I have had the very same mailman for 20 years. If they actually mailed it I would have gotten it. They did not mail me anything and my mailman said he saw nothing. And I believe him. This company tried to retaliate against me because of my review. So here is another one. If you have time sensitive and important legal documents that need to be handled with care, DO NOT USE this company. I paid them $230.00 for absolutely NOTHING!!! They couldn't serve either document. They are not thorough at all.

Thank you, Don and Armando! My particular situation required personal service at a specific time and location, along with some special instructions, all of which Swift Legal was able to accommodate. Special thanks to Bret, who successfully completed personal service on the first attempt. I especially appreciated that he checked in with me beforehand to confirm the details and followed up afterward to let me know the service was complete. I couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely use Swift Legal again in the future. Highly recommend!

If you've ever represented yourself in a lawsuit, you already know how frustrating and overwhelming…read moreit can be to navigate the legal system on your own. At some point, you will need a registered process server to handle various legal documents. After becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the RPS company I had used for years, I decided to take my business elsewhere. I found Swift Legal through the California Association of Judgment Professionals, where several members highly recommended the company. When I called to ask about their fees, the person I spoke with suggested that I talk to the president, Frank Kaul, who is an expert in writs and levies. Frank called me back, and we spoke at length about my judgments and the difficult litigation I was still dealing with. He listened with genuine empathy and kindness and took the time to understand my situation and what I had been going through. I have been using Swift Legal ever since, and I couldn't be happier. They are knowledgeable, experienced, responsive, and professional, but what truly sets them apart is that they genuinely care. They make me feel like I have a partner in this years-long legal battle and that I don't have to figure everything out on my own. I only wish I had found them sooner. If you ever need a registered process server, I cannot recommend Swift Legal highly enough. You will be in excellent hands.
