I cannot say enough wonderful things about Audio Video Workshop and the incredible work Scott and…read moreRita did for us! My brother recently found some of my parents' old 8mm films tucked away in the attic, and we had no idea what condition they would be in or whether we would even be able to see them again. These films are incredibly meaningful to our family, so trusting them to someone was a very big deal. From the moment I met Scott and Rita, we knew our memories were in good hands. They were both incredibly professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything, were completely transparent about the process, and treated these old family films with the care and respect they deserved. And the finished product was AMAZING! Seeing my parents and our family brought back to life on film was truly priceless. It was like being given a little piece of our family history back, and we will treasure these memories for years to come. Scott and Rita went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the beautiful job they did. If you have old films, videos, photographs, or other family memories that you've been meaning to preserve, I would wholeheartedly recommend Audio Video Workshop in Redwood City. You can trust them with something that is truly irreplaceable. Thank you, Scott and Rita, for helping us preserve such precious memories of my parents and our family.

The customer service here is abysmal. I called this place 4 times in the afternoon (well after…read moreopening hours) to inquire about film processing because their website is unclear on their services. No one picked up every time, they even just sent me straight to voicemail. I end up just driving over to find the place is not busy at the slightest. They just ignore calls. I decided to make the drive out here and just talk to them in person. I've never met someone more dismissive in my life. The owner cuts off everyone who speaks to him. Right in front of me there was a sweet old woman who noticed there was a cash discount that was posted on the well after she handed over her film, she kindly asked to pay in cash for the discount and the owner told her "Nah I already typed in your order I'm not changing it." Shoo's her away after that exchange, and then says goodbye calling her by her first name. Which tells me this is a regular customer that he treats like trash. I'm next, I pull out my super 8 film and before I can even ask a question he says "nah we don't do those you have to go somewhere else" Which is fine. Not everyone processes super 8 (even though the website says they do,) which is an old medium. But the delivery and customer service were horrible. Someone should have answered the phone in the first place so I wouldn't be here "bothering" this guy on his very busy day of sitting around doing nothing. Also, This guys website shouldn't be coded/designed like a 6th grader did it, so that way the information can be clear and easy to read. Their website explicitly says "We transfer 8mm and 16mm film" which makes me believe this owner is just lazy and chooses not to work. It's sad really, the film medium is a dying industry and there are very few people who can be there to revive this medium and unfortunately this one in the Bay Area can choose to help this art form, but instead they choose to be a lazy business owner who has disdain for people who want to support his dying business. I've received better customer service from fast food chains than this place. If/when his business fails it's not because of a lack of customers or demand of services. But at the fault of a pathetic and bitter business owner who does not deserve it. To everyone reading I recommend looking for mail in film transfer. They are much more accommodating than this pathetic place.

Before choosing Kermit, I consulted with a few other local and highly rated accountants. Kermit was by far the warmest and most knowledgeable that I talked to. That still rings true.

I don't know what we would have done without Kermit. Kermit has shown time and time again to be incredibly kind, knowledgeable and generous with his knowledge. He is easy and fun to work with, and down to earth yet clearly professional. He always picks up his phone, and helps me with any questions that I might have (there are a lot, trust me). I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

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!

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.
