When a defendant dodges service, our Florida stakeout teams wait, watch, and serve, with surveillance logs and a return of service that stand up in court.
Some defendants learn the sound of a process server at the door. They stop answering, park around the corner, and let the mail pile up. Routine repeat attempts drain your budget on people like this, a coordinated stakeout does not. Our Florida process servers turn evasion into an evidentiary record instead of a stalled case.
A stakeout begins with intelligence: our skip trace data on vehicles, work schedules, and daily routines. Servers then hold position at the residence or workplace, confirm the subject's presence, and complete service of process at the moment of contact, commonly on arrival or departure.
If a defendant still cannot be served in person, our detailed surveillance logs give your attorney exactly what Florida courts want to see before authorizing substitute or constructive service under Chapter 48. Whether the address sits in Orange, Seminole, Hillsborough, Miami Dade, Duval, or Broward County, the diligence record travels with your case.
A stakeout has two outcomes, and both move your case forward: the serve itself, or an evidentiary record of evasion strong enough that a Florida court authorizes an alternative method of service.
Every session produces a timed log with photos and observations, signed by the server and ready to attach to a motion for substitute service. It is the difference between a case that stalls on bad service and one that stays on schedule.
