San Diego Private Detectives excel in serving hard to find persons!

SO you hired the Sheriffs department. We get it, you wanted to save money and were hopeful they’d do a good job. Sadly, you got what you paid for. That’s OK. You’re now in the good hands of Paramount Investigative Services. We handle difficult service of process or evasive service of process.

There are several reasons why these people are being evasive or the serve has become difficult. The number one reason is they know “its” coming. Let’s face it, they aren’t nice people and there aren’t any other options left for you to remedy the situation. The second reason is, you’ve hired the Sheriffs department and or a process server who was ill equip. In all likelihood, they were confrontational or aggressive with neighbors, maybe they simply lacked tact. At PIS we believe the Sheriffs are the worst persons you could possibly send. They show up in Police cars wearing uniforms. We’ve seen them park on someone’s lawn and knock on the door at 6:30 in the morning. Who the heck does that? The Sheriffs Dept does. Process servers can be good but the main problem with them, is they are cheap. They don’t charge enough to take the time to afford the proper training or tools. That puts them into a situation where they go door to door as fast as they can to check the “attempts” off their list. Sadly, that’s the only way they can make a living is through speed and not skill.

Our San Diego Private Investigators are the best! We not only have powerful tools at our finger tips, investigative experience, tips and tricks we’ve honed for the past 20+ years. Yes, we charge more but in the end we save you time and money and that equals value. Expensive is hiring the wrong service provider the first time around. Now, we have to retrace their steps and put more time in the field to correct their wrong. Lets avoid all of that together and hire Paramount Investigative Services the first time. You’ll be glad you did.
