What Sacramento Attorneys Say

Trusted by law firms across Sacramento County

"NDS has been our go-to process server for 3 years. Their same-day service has saved us on tight court deadlines more times than I can count. The GPS verification gives us confidence when service is challenged."

— Jennifer M.

— Robert T.

Common Questions Before You Hire

Honest answers to the concerns we hear most often

💬 "What if they can't be found?"

We don't give up easily. After 3 documented attempts at varied times, California law allows substitute service. If needed, our skip tracing team can locate current addresses and workplaces. We've successfully served people others couldn't find — and if we truly can't serve them, you don't pay for failed service.

💰 "Why $145 when I saw $75?"

You get what you pay for. Our $145 includes up to 3 service attempts, GPS verification, a court-ready affidavit, and real-time updates. Cheaper services often charge extra for second attempts, provide no proof of location, or have servers working 50+ cases at once. One failed service costs more than the difference.

⚖️ "What if service gets challenged?"

Every service we complete includes GPS coordinates, timestamps, and detailed descriptions. Our affidavits are prepared to California standards. We've testified in court on service challenges and maintained a near-perfect record. Your service will hold up.
