I cannot say enough positive things about Ambiko Wallace. He kept me well informed about the status of service, which was so helpful given the stress-inducing time crunch we were on. 10/10. Very thankful.

I was referred to Capitol Process Services by a good friend who is a Paralegal. Their services as she praised them for fast and prompt services did not disappoint as the party I was serving was served the next business day. Thank you all for your services.

I apologize for the previous review. Capital Process Services NEVER let me down before and when I was making my review I was under duress about my urgent issue about not being able to see or have my 8 year old daughter in my life. I do appreciate and recommend Capital Process Services to the world.

"My wife and I were filing a complex pro se immigration action in the DC Federal District Court. We were doing this for the first time so we needed some extra attention and assistance to make sure the services of the summons' were done correctly. Louis and David were extremely helpful and accomplished it all very promptly at a reasonable cost. They are deserving of SIX stars as true professionals. Thank you Louis and David for a job very well done."

Thank you guys so much for great service. I can only express my gratitude here publicly. I especially want to thank Louis Gerrick for accepting to try serving my defendant 1 more time free of charge. I also want to thank you guys for going extra late. I appreciate your service and I have no complaints what so ever. Keep up the great work!
