We are based on Chicago's Northwest Side near O'Hare, minutes from Park Ridge, Niles and Des Plaines, so suburban serves often go out the same day. Attorneys, landlords, businesses and families across suburban Cook County call us when they need papers served, a person found or something documented for court.

Process Serving in Suburban Cook County

When the Sheriff Comes Back "Not Found"

We keep going. We skip trace the defendant, confirm where they actually are and serve them. You get an affidavit of service with time-stamped photos for the Skokie, Rolling Meadows, Maywood or Daley Center courthouse. Landlords: 5-day, 10-day and 30-day notices are $225 per address, with every occupant included.

Standard Service — $225

Standard service includes up to three attempts at a confirmed address within the Chicago metro area, photo documentation of each attempt, and a proof of service or non-service affidavit formatted for Illinois court filing. The flat rate has no add-ons.

Hard-to-Serve — $650

This service is for subjects who know they are being served and are actively evading contact. It includes a dedicated six-hour field window for accessing rear stairwells, conducting covert surveillance, canvassing neighbors, and applying 15 years of investigative experience to intercept the subject the moment they emerge. Every attempt is photo-documented, and a written report and affidavit of service are included.

Locate Before Service

When the subject's address is unknown or unconfirmed, we conduct a skip trace first — identifying and verifying the current address through lawful database research and field verification before any service attempt is made. This eliminates wasted attempts at outdated addresses.

Surveillance-Assisted Service

When a subject is actively avoiding service, we combine covert surveillance with active service attempts — positioning the process server to intercept the subject at the moment of emergence rather than waiting at a door that will never open.
