Why would I hire a Private Investigator to conduct my process serve?

When it comes to serving documents, claimants can become very evasive when it comes to receiving papers and most of which are not willing to accept the papers. On many occasions solicitors will often instruct us to serve documents on their behalf because they have often had other matters to attend to and simply do not have the time or resources are their disposal to accommodate serving papers.

Why would I hire a Private Investigator to conduct my process serve? Is a question often asked. When it comes to serving documents, claimants can become very evasive when it comes to receiving papers and most of which are not willing to accept the papers. On many occasions solicitors will often instruct us to serve documents on their behalf because they have often had other matters to attend to and simply do not have the time or resources are their disposal to accommodate serving papers.

The benefit of using a Private Detective is that the individual will not be known to the claimant. A private investigator can also assist in tracing the individual you are requiring the serve on if the client is not aware of the current address of the individual.

In most cases, clients request us to serve documents within a short timeframe, as they must serve court papers at least 14 days in advance.

Most serves require completion outside of usual working hours, as the claimant may not be home during regular times. We cover every eventuality, such as discovering an individual is on holiday without the client’s knowledge. We make two attempts to virtually guarantee that we complete the job.

Hiring a private investigator to conduct your process serving can offer several key advantages:

  1. Expertise and Experience: Private investigators skillfully handle process serving, especially in challenging situations where individuals evade service. Their expertise guarantees that they complete the process both legally and efficiently.
  2. Confidentiality: Private investigators work with discretion, maintaining confidentiality throughout the process. This is particularly important in sensitive legal matters where privacy is essential.
  3. Efficiency: Private investigators have the tools, resources, and knowledge to serve documents promptly. They track down hard-to-find individuals and handle evasive parties quickly and effectively, ensuring they meet deadlines.
  4. Nationwide Coverage: Many private investigators offer nationwide process serving, meaning they can serve documents in locations beyond your local area, saving you time and effort.
  5. Proof of Service: Private investigators provide reliable proof of service, typically through an affidavit or certificate, ensuring that your case remains legally sound.
  6. Dealing with Difficult Situations: If you’re dealing with an individual actively avoiding service, a private investigator uses specialised techniques, such as surveillance or investigative resources, to ensure successful service.
