When attorneys, businesses, government agencies, or private clients need legal documents served, The Investigative Group provides professional process service throughout Northern California.
From our El Dorado Hills office, we coordinate assignments in Sacramento County, El Dorado County, Placer County, Amador County, and nearby communities. Our team approaches each assignment with attention to deadlines, clear communication, documented service attempts, and accurate proofs of service.
Submit an online process-service request or call 916.934.4736 to discuss the documents, service address, deadline, and available options.
Process service is more than delivering paperwork. The server must understand the assignment, follow lawful procedures, document each attempt, communicate important developments, and complete the proof of service accurately. We coordinate routine, priority, rush, and difficult-service assignments based on the client’s objectives and the circumstances of the case.
Attorneys and legal teams receive practical updates that help them manage deadlines and decide whether additional attempts, schedule changes, or locate assistance are appropriate. Private clients and businesses receive the same professional communication throughout the assignment.
The Investigative Group accepts a wide range of civil, criminal, family-law, business, and legal documents, including:
- Summonses and complaints
- Civil and criminal subpoenas
- Small claims documents
- Restraining orders
- Eviction notices
- Divorce, child-custody, and other family-law documents
- Other civil, criminal, business, and legal notices
Contact us before submitting an assignment if you are unsure whether a document or location falls within our service coverage. Providing complete documents, clear instructions, a reliable deadline, and all known subject information helps us evaluate the assignment efficiently.
Routine service works best when documents and deadlines are provided early. When timing is urgent, same-day or rush service may be available depending on the location, time received, subject availability, and assignment requirements. We will review the details before confirming the available service option.
Some subjects have moved, avoid service, work irregular hours, or have incomplete address information. TIG also offers locate and skip-trace support for difficult assignments. Lawful research and field information may help identify a better address, employment lead, or service schedule for additional attempts.
Each assignment is different. We do not promise a successful service attempt or a specific turnaround without first reviewing the documents, location, deadline, and known information about the subject.
Law firms need prompt acknowledgment, clear status updates, and reliable documentation. TIG supports civil, criminal, family-law, employment, personal-injury, and other legal matters. We review provided instructions, coordinate deadlines, document attempts, and return proof-of-service information after completion.
When process service is connected to a broader matter, our team may also assist with witness locations, interviews and statements, background research, surveillance, and other litigation-support services. This integrated approach gives legal teams one experienced resource for service and investigative needs.
