Zeta Maxwell 1 year ago

Negative experience: I wanted two tenants served for nonpayment of rent and I was told that due to the tenant not answering the door previously and they made two attempts I should get the sheriff to serve them and the sheriff is backed up with evictions. Not absolute serving and investigations. They only take the easy servings.

I’m sorry Zeta, I know it’s frustrating when you can’t get someone to meet your demands to get something challenging done immediately… but you’ve told us in an email that they’ve said they already moved and left trash, in the past these tenants are drug users and you’re waiting on the sheriff to remove their trash so it’s time sensitive, and my rush routes are full today and tomorrow . unfortunately, and these same people have evaded and refused to answer in the past, so I felt it was best for our safety and your service to get done personally as required if you sent the sheriff. I’m sorry you don’t understand that, We only have so many hours and stress we can handle in a day, we are human. I understand your frustrating situation , if I thought we could get it done as you require right away personally we would take the work , but your case has its challenges and safety risks we aren’t able to accommodate at this time

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! I realized that I had a problem with a serve because it was just sitting there going nowhere with a different company, the afternoon was dragging on, the CSC offices were about to close and there was a holiday the next day. They responded to me promptly and it is getting done!

Shanon M Hounshell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Julia/Absolute Serving was recommended by a friend and colleague and have been serving papers for my small law office for about a year now. The team exceeded expectations today! I knew where someone was going to be until 3 p.m. today. I provided papers over the noon/lunch hour. I had no expectations that service would be accomplished today, but it was! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with their service as they have been prompt, responsive, helpful and professional in their interaction with me as a customer. I also noted good grammar and spelling in written correspondence (which seems to be a dying art these days).

Awww thanks Deb! We appreciate that! Especially when we get to deal with autocorrect trying to help a little too much with corresponding! ;-) We do this as a profession, not a side gig, and doing our job correctly and being competent and educated, even in standard grammar, is important to us! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us public feedback! -Julia

Fantastic experience: A fantastic company to work with! Our office required out-of-state 'process service' services, and Julia was fantastic - very quick response times, concise and professional communications, and speedy 'process service' turn-around time. I definitely recommend Absolute Serving & Investigations.

Mitch Coluzzi 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolute Process Serving has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I have tried several folks in the area... but Julia is now our #1 go-to process service contact in Des Moines. We do not need service all that often, but I feel like a star client none-the-less. She is prompt in communication, typically responding in under 15 minutes to our 3 day notice and FED service requests. More importantly, she can often same-day serve or complete alternative service requirements within 48 hours. Invoicing is straight forward and prices are very reasonable! Cannot recommend her and her efficient team enough!

Mitch, you and your team are wonderful to work with- and you understand the process- making it easy on us! We appreciate small business too- we wouldn't be in business without great clients like you! We are so happy you called us last year to give us a shot :-) Happy Holidays!

Brant Kahler 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have used Julia for all of my service needs over the past five years or so. Not only does she get things done in a timely manner, but she does them right. I have never had service performed by Julia be attacked later by opposing counsel. Julia is very familiar with the service rules and laws and makes sure to follow them closely. Julia has also been able to handle rush service matters for me on occasion, which I greatly appreciate. I would recommend Julia and Absolute Serving & Investigations to any attorney or other professional with service needs.

Fantastic experience: Julia has done all of my service work since 2006. I have found her to be extremely hard working, dedicated, very knowledgeable and quick to smile. She always goes the extra-mile and I can't imagine using any other process server. I have used her services literally hundreds of times and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!

Hope Wood 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Julia is an exceptional process server. I am a tech-savvy lawyer so I send her an e-mail with what I need served and she does the rest. She isn't required to file the affidavit of service on a case, but takes the time to do it anyway. Julia gets things done. I was recommended to her by another attorney and have been pleased with our two years together.

Fantastic experience: I recently started using Julia and she is amazing! I needed to serve someone that moves a lot and she found him for me and got him served. I recently had a rush job and she took care of it. Julia is a professional and knows the rules to follow. It is a great feeling to give her a job and know it will be done right and at a great price!

Andi Dyar 11 years ago

Fantastic experience: Julia is great to work with! She is quick and efficient and working hard to make life easier and more convenient for me! Julia's efficient, no-muss, no-fuss service works well with my busy practice. She has been able to serve difficult to find opposing parties and she's always been able to help out in a pinch when I need service in a jiffy. Her rates are reasonable and she's easy to get along with! I really love working with her!
