Difficult Process Service
LA Intelligence Investigations is a Los Angeles private investigation agency that provides process service for difficult, evasive, or hard-to-locate subjects. We are not a standard process-serving company; our team handles cases that require investigative work, surveillance, or advanced skip tracing to complete service successfully.
We specialize in Hard to Serve or Evasive subjects. If you have a standard service, we recommend that you contact a regular process server or attorney service. Our Los Angeles Private Investigation Agency handles evasive and difficult to serve cases, including situations where the subject must first be located through skip tracing or address verification.
Our investigators can complete service of process anywhere in the state of California. LA Intelligence will serve your papers quickly and diligently at a reasonable cost.

A cause of action filed in the courts cannot proceed until the parties are properly served. There are deadlines in which proper service must be effectuated to avoid re-filing.
Oftentimes, a defendant or respondent will deliberately avoid service to avoid obvious consequences. In fact, standard process servers will return the documents unserved after a few attempts. When this occurs, it interferes with the normal course of legal procedure.
Difficult process service is something we specialize in. When we are tasked with serving someone where others have failed, it is rare for our detectives not to complete the serve. This often involves skip tracing to confirm a current address, employment location, or place where the subject can reliably be found.
Our private investigators will conduct background checks when necessary, search social media accounts, and even talk to neighbors and relatives, all of which help us determine the best time and place to serve the subject. Often, the process service requires surveillance or an elaborate ruse to lure the subject out in the open. No matter the method, we document the service with photos or video along with a sworn proof of service.
Investigation fees are based on time and complexity. We charge a minimum of 5 hours, with most cases completed within that timeframe. However, there are circumstances where it could cost more, especially if we must secure a current address and/or place of employment. Skip tracing time is included as part of the investigative process when required.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Brian and the LA Intelligence team are amazing. I had exhausted every option trying to have someone served. I was exhausted, frustrated, and so discouraged. I was ready to give up after a year and a half of the process. Then I found Brian. They got it done! They were supportive and professional throughout, I could not be more grateful. Highly highly recommend Brian and LA Intelligence.
“I was fortunate enough to once again hire Brian Mathews to help me with an insurance case that was very complicated and required skill, patience, and a thorough knowledge of the insurance industry and its practices. I found him to be most dependable and helpful. My case was very upsetting to me as it concerned a hit and run incident, and I was the victim. Brian followed up on every detail and uncovered details about the driver who hit me. He was able to help solve my case and bring it to a successful conclusion. I would recommend Brian to anyone needing an experienced and capable private investigator. Thank you.”
“I contacted LA Intelligence to help me with an issue with my son, because I live on the East Coast and couldn’t be there myself to assess the situation and obtain information. They were very nice and helpful. I liked that they were flexible in that they communicated with me by voice call and by text, whatever worked best for me at any given time depending on my schedule. They delivered on everything I asked for. I really appreciate them taking care of things for me from over 2000 miles away and giving me peace of mind.”
