I too became one of those happy customers. I must say service was fast and efficient. In a split second the job was dispatched, papers were served and proof of service was e-filed. There were no hidden fees like I've experienced with other process servers in the past. If you want the job done right without missing deadlines then look no further. I will for sure use their services in the near future. read more

Very responsive to messages, and clearly tech-savvy! A lot of process servers I've looked into are still using Geocities-era websites from decades ago. These guys were well-versed in the details of process serving, and after multiple attempts on my defendants (who the sheriffs already tried but were "evading service" per the sheriffs) they served an adult at the address then mailed via Substituted Service. A few days later I heard from my defendants that they had been successfully served! The cost was very reasonable as well, even for two defendants. read more

TJ has been very responsive and professional and kind. I highly recommend his services to all!

Mr. Lewis not only helped us serve the court papers to the defendant promptly, but he also went above and beyond by providing valuable insights and information that saved us both time and money. Many process servers wouldn't go out of their way to offer that kind of guidance, and it was sincerely appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout. We received prompt replies to both emails and Yelp messages. We were kept informed every step of the way. All correspondence were detailed and organized, making it easy to ensure everything was done correctly, which is especially important given how strict court rules can be. Thank you to Mr. Lewis and his team! We will definitely use their services again and highly recommend MAKE 'EM PAY to anyone needing reliable & professional process serving. read more

Have used Thomas to Deliver Evidence Documents, very satisfied, and he's quick to respond. I highly recommend! ... read more

Make 'Em Pay - Me in Backyard - A man with glasses and gray hair is seated outdoors in a garden area, smiling at the camera and holding up a peace sign with his right hand.

My former tenant left without paying rent, and they have owed me for a long time without any payment. I applied for wage garnishment through the court, but in the meantime, the tenant's company encountered difficulties and is not very willing to communicate with me. I feel very helpless. Every day I feel anxious and don't know how to solve this issue. Lawyers generally require payment for counsel, or they may not assist if the amount doesn't meet their standards. The advice given during paid consultations is often something I can find online, it's not particularly tailored to my situation and isn't very useful. In my helplessness, and with no money to hire a lawyer, TJ is the ONLY person willing to understand my situation, teaching me how to handle things step by step, helping me resolve the issue. He does business not just for money, he has a kind heart and will analyze your troubles like a friend. He also suggests the right way to go, helping you avoid unnecessary detours, leading to a perfect resolution of the situation. I highly recommend their services! Thank you, TJ. I highly recommend their services! They are the best of the best!!!! read more

Super responsive and helpful. Paperwork was complete and accepted by court. Would use again and recommend.

Very fast response, reliable service, and reasonable same day service quote. Thank you so much!

Professional and very good responses with my text messages. He was the first person to respond to my message and got me involved same day and the documents I sent him was delivered the following day. read more

Can't praise these guys enough, TJ and Kelly got me results on a skip trace within 24 hours and with this help I was able to serve papers to a guy whose changed addresses multiple times and switched business locations 3 times. I have spent weeks trying to find this guy myself and after hiring Make em pay I was able to serve my papers the same day as getting the results from the search. Thank you again!!!! read more

DUUUUDE! TJ is the AWESOME! I reached out today, Sunday, not thinking much of it because they are closed, and he got back to me RIGHT AWAY! Not only was he able to hop on a call with me to get a better idea of my situation, but he also gave me some amazingly, helpful insight and advice. Spectacular customer service. Highly recommend. read more

Where has this guy been in the past 2 years of my life!! Live savior for small claims judgement solutions!!! Highly recommended!! Super professional, detailed, and respond fast!! So many useful tips!! Affordable as well. read more

So very happy I chose them. The amount of useful tips I received was as good as talking to a lawyer to hear what I can expect. They went above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. read more

I absolutely recommend Make'Em Pay for small claims court dealings. In the past year, I had to make two small claims and used this company for papers serving 3 times. They delivered papers to defendants successfully in no time and also filed the proofs of service with the court. Great service. I am so grateful for their guidance and knowledge with navigating the court system. They are also very helpful and knowledgeable with the judgment enforcement and how to collect your money after you won your case. They give a prompt response to all your questions, and are efficient with job execution. Look no further. read more

AMAZING! I almost couldn't believe how fast they served the documents. The person I was having served used to be a process server, it was one of their first jobs so I was very worried it would take several attempts. I even budgeted for the multiple attempts. But Make 'Em Pay got it done in just a few hours 1st freakin attempt. I'm still in awe of it. They even include a picture when they sent the proof of service, that gave me so much piece of mind. If you're searching and searching for a good process server, take it from me save yourself some time and go with Make 'Em Pay. You will not regret it. It was worth every penny. Thank you soooooooo much Make 'Em Pay!! I can't wait for someone to ask me if I know of a good process server. read more

This woman is a total boss She got the most janky grifter that has eluded several attempts to get served, served. She's amazing read more

I want to start out by saying that it's a crap shoot to find good companies/people on the web. I found a diamond in a cole mine when I hired this company. They performed the work expeditiously and professionally. Very kind and informative. read more

Tj responded to all my questions promptly and completed the mail service job promptly.

So, so grateful I found and chose this provider to serve the defendant for my case. I had a complicated situation to serve papers and they provided timely updates through the entire process with thorough notes- they had to try multiple times but they did it. Special shout out to TJ who was patient, informative, and caring personality calling me directly several times for updates and putting me at ease during a very stressful event in my life. If you ever need to serve court papers in Southern California, I highly recommend Make 'Em Pay. read more

My experience with Make Em Pay mirrors the other glowing five-star reviews seen here. When you are filing a lawsuit, your greatest ally and the most important partner in the beginning stages is the process server. A bad process server can end your case before it begins, but an excellent process server can be the lynchpin in securing a victory. TJ from Make Em Pay did an amazing job making serving attempts at multiple locations (multiple locations are and should be an additional fee) and even sending me timestamped photos with GPS coordinations of each service attempt, as well as advising me on the different types of serves. He went above and beyond his station to ensure that the defendant was properly served and I am grateful for their diligence and professionalism read more

I was initially a bit skeptical at Make 'Em Pay's average five-star review as doesn't every business end up with a few unhappy/crazy/off-base reviews?!? But after working with them for the past few months, I can see why they have such a high rating! TJ is proactive, professional, and very responsive and has implemented technology and tools to make processes (contract, payment, documentation, updates, etc.) very streamlined. It isn't easy trying to hold people accountable since you have to serve them and they might be good at evading these efforts. I had Make 'Em Pay (in this case, one of their partner firms... since my job was in a different geography) attempt to serve an unethical cat breeder (Pets Kingdom) 6 times with a stakeout on the last attempt. Serving deadbeats is a stressful, uncertain process and it is better to use a firm that is friendly and has their act together rather than one that will just add to your stress! Happy to report that we had success on the last attempt. Now on to the next step to see if we can really Make 'Em Pay! Thanks TJ! read more

I have to confess that the name of this business stop me dead in my tracks laughing. I have several properties and one looming unlawful Detainer / 3 day pay or quit to get started. So I called... The fellow I spoke to hip, knowledgeable and just seemed like da guy i wanted to hire! I can't fully describe it other than that they seemed clear cut on describing the process, thier procedures and it just sounded great for the property owner with a problem. Now - full disclosure : my tenant paid the late rent just before I was gonna hire this company to get started. So I didn't actually employ them. However, I will not forget this eviction specialist business. read more

I talked with TJ at length about what my job would involve, and he was extremely linear and thorough in explaining the process -- in this case, involving separate husband-and-wife defendants. I wound up going with another service because I wanted to have a women handle the job, but if TJ's service is anything like his explanations, he'd be a great choice. read more

Just hire TJ! If you are looking for a process server who is much more than that, he is your guy. I can't even begin to tell you how knowledgeable TJ is about the law, how eager he is to help you with your case and get results, how fair his pricing is and how quickly and thoroughly his follow up is. I had what was a complicated situation for me where the defendant was evading service and didn't pay the judgement. TJ walked me through exactly how to find his accounts, with detail helped me fill out the paperwork, file another hearing to get him back in court and get him served. He has been amazing and I am still in the process of all of this. I can't say enough about Make Em Pay - takes all the stress, uncertainty and worries of your situation. My review is "hire em" and you won't regret it. Thank you for a great experience!!! read more

A tough defendant to serve, and they did it. Great service as well, quite responsive.

These guys were amazing in so many ways. First of all, they know the law and informed me that the maximum for small claims just got raised to 12,500 from 10,000 this year. They also guided me so creatively that I immediately felt I had found the right company. They know the ins and outs like a pro. The bottom line, however, is that they got the job done. The sheriffs tried and failed so when time was running out, these guys delivered. I got paid by the person who owed me even before the court date so it was the best experience I've ever had while Making Em Pay! I interfaced with TJ the most but his partner was the man who made it happen. It felt like I hired the Mandalorian but only paid a small bounty for such a huge job. This is the way! Make Em Pay! read more

I am happy that I found Make 'Em Pay for my process serving needs. Tj was very helpful and explained to me everything before making my decision to move forward. This company is very professional, works fast and gets the job done properly. The day I appeared in court the other party sent an attorney and tried to argue that the service was not legit. I provided the Jude with the proof of service, images taken by the process server and the judge recognized the name of the company. She immediately deemed that this company is not only legit but that the process server did indeed served the other party properly. Thank you to TJ and staff for your assistance. I am grateful for your help. read more

Reasonable rates and professional service. The server was very diligent and obviously was experienced. The person being served said they would deny getting served, well make 'em pay submitted document to court to inform them as well as filing the proof of service I had paid extra for. Thank you! read more

I needed a process server and Make 'Em Pay came through for me. Their communication was great. Even when I misunderstood a step they politely and quickly got me back on track. Worth the money to get it done right. read more

Excellent service. And they provide us with their free legal knowledge. I got do my process serving.

I could not have chosen a more thorough, responsive, and effortful service processor for handling my situation. Very knowledgeable about laws related to process serving. Although this is not a service I hope to use on a regular basis as a civilian, I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs it! 5 stars are so worth it! read more

I needed someone, anyone to help me find and serve an individual who was very evasive, and unwilling to cooperate. Make 'Em Pay took an extremely sensitive and stressful situation, worked patiently with me and my time constraints, kept in contact, responded in timely fashion, all to ensure I got the best final outcome I could have hoped for: proper service! I am elated--I can sleep better, and I can't thank TJ, as well as my server, Ivas, enough! SO HAPPY I found your company; now, hopefully I won't require services again in the future, but if I do, I am definitely going to Make 'Em Pay. Great job guys, a job well done!! Look no further, you've found the best of the best (: read more

I am having difficulty finding sufficient superlatives in describing Thomas's (T.J.) professionalism. It was so refreshing to work with Thomas who explained the specifics of the legal system. He absolutely knows what he is doing and followed the law to the letter. I needed to have my former landlord served for not returning my security deposit, and Thomas delivered the next day. I hope I never have to go to court again, but if I do, I will hire MAKE 'EM PAY without hesitation. I highly recommend TJ and his team of experts. Oh, and very reasonable rates too. Angela G. read more

This company is awesome. I had a rush job that I needed done. The job was completed within 18 hours. I would highly recommend them. Their supporting documentation is a huge help in case of a legal scenario. If you need a document served, this is the company to use. Their rates are more reasonable then other document servers I inquired with. T. J. Is very professional and helped me through the paperwork. Ruven the server himself also professional and documented everything during his service for me. Thank you T.J and Ruven Rhonda C. read more

I can't say enough about Thomas and his team. They know their stuff, they're so quick, very professional and Thomas is a big help when it comes to explaining the intricacies of the legal system. Do yourself a favor and just hire Make 'Em Pay. Thanks again, Thomas! read more

I had a great experience with TJ, who assisted me in serving notice of hearing for a DVRO renewal. The entire job was complete in less than 24 hours, including a skip trace to locate the respondent's address as well as actually serving the documents to the respondent. TJ was highly responsive and communicative throughout, and I could tell he understood the sensitive nature of my request as a DV survivor. Two years ago, after the sheriff's office completely blew me off, I hired a national firm to serve the same respondent, and it took them weeks of failed attempts and hundreds of dollars before the respondent was finally served on the very last day before the cutoff. That experience was extremely stressful, and my experience with TJ was nothing but easy. I highly recommend going with TJ if you need to serve someone locally in Los Angeles. read more

TJ and Ruven are great! They are personally involved in running the business, which is a huge comfort. Communications were excellent, reliable and helped me understand the process, which was new to me. Prices are very reasonable and competitive, and there are a variety of services available, all of which they will gladly explain without trying to push or give a hard sell. And they got the job done quickly and efficiently. Very happy that Yelp led me to them, and I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone who need them. read more

Excellent company (despite the overly aggressive name). They responded quickly, worked with my in a fairly unique project, gave me multiple options and ultimately were successful in a very short time. Highly recommend. read more

Thomas is an amazing worker. He really helps you understand and is informed. I always got a response quickly and am one of those people who had lots of questions and appreciate time he took to help me be informed as well. I recommend them and also would like to say that I wish I would have found them sooner. Thank you for your help! read more

TJ and his team run by far, the most efficient processor service business. They are top notch on all aspects. They truly make it a seamless and stress free process. TJ and his team know their stuff and everything thing is done with great attention to detail, and very by the Book. They are amazing to work with, 10/10. I could not have picked a better team to help me as a Plaintiff in pro per. To find a team that has it all, including excellent customer service, going above and beyond for their clients, very knowledgeable in their business, super responsive, extremely reliable, fast and dependable service, no fluff, they are just the best of the best. Nothing but high praises from me, extremely satisfied client for last 7 months. read more
