Hired them to serve papers for the law firm I work for. They attempted service 6 times all in the afternoon or evening. They knew the person resided in the home per neighbors, yet didn't try to serve the papers in the morning or try other methods to get them served. On top of that the fees were almost double what we customarily pay. Very disappointed!
