Difficult Service of Process
Any process server will be the first to admit that some people are more difficult to serve than others. While some individuals are willing to comply with or are expecting service, others may prove to be more difficult to contact, whether it is unintentional or on purpose. When the subject of your process becomes difficult, it may be helpful to recruit the services of an experienced Colorado licensed private investigator.
Generally speaking, people do not take well to being served court documents, whether it is a witness request, a complaint, subpoena or a restraining order. Even if it is not intentional, some people may be hard to find, reach or locate because of their situation.
Common difficulties that may arise when attempting legal service process may include:
- Invalid resident information
- Subjects that refuse to answer the door or have a household member answer and say they are not home when you know they are
- Gated home communities
- Apartment complexes with limited access
- Subjects that move or travel often
- Difficult legal service of process is time consuming and frustrating. While evading service is not necessarily illegal, it can halt a high stakes case, put someone’s life in jeopardy or interfere with the entire legal system all together.
Private investigators are valuable in moments when you experience difficulty in the service of process. Rather than attempting to simply contact the person being served, they will first compile a systematic plan based on research in order to ensure that person is approached in a valid moment and served with the necessary papers.
