Merry Christmas. Some folks here asked me how to become a process server, and does it pay well? It pays well if you know which lawyers pitch for business.
Some papers can be treated as a regular messenger. Other papers have the world riding on them for the law firm and their clients. Now a days here in Los Angeles, you can bring in some cool earnings serving process. You can find the people to work for in your town. Just Google attorney services, litigation support and process serving companies. Some asked about bounty hunting.? Lol, it's fun when you're young. I was 19, then when I got married, we stopped.
It's a hard gig and you should know how to skip trace jumpers before you go after them. The cases that will bring you good money are mad bad people.
Even when I was young, women can be just as deadly as men, if not a bit more. You can make a lot more income serving papers than bounty hunting.
I rather work under the protection of a law firm than bails bonds companies anytime. What I am about to tell you is from one of the best process servers in the world...Me. Listen, and take note. I am old and dying, and have no one to share this with. All that I knew are dead. I buried Larry, my last bro a few weeks ago.
What does a process server do?
A process server is someone who
understands these rules and requirements, and how to deliver legal documents according to the law. Process servers deliver various documents in legal action. They may serve documents on witnesses, defendants, plaintiffs, and other parties to the action.
In Los Angeles, you apply for a process serving license and bond, usually 40 bucks the bond and maybe 200. for the lic. You approach a attorney service in the court house, usually on the first floor. They ain't looking for tough guys. They want smart guys that can handle people getting angry when served.
Basically, you need to hand legal documents to a person's hand, or in Los Angeles you can do a drop service when you drop the documents in front of the person being served. Some documents, like a summons and complaint, can sub serve, meaning give to anybody over 18 after 3 visits 6-8 hours apart.
The money for me was serving deadly docs. Like OSC orders to show cause, Writs, ORAPS, TRO's temporary restraining orders and injunctions.
In the roaring 80' Appotiment of receivers were my bread and butter. Now let's jump a bit and talk what you need to know to hunt man down.
If you work at attorney service or in-house. You will get a little of everything.
Me? I prefer the papers normal process servers can't serve. Mega rich, business, movie and rock stars.
Never impersonate a cop or federal official, massive no no. Keep in mind many times, depending on the case, you may have to write up a declaration of service. Basically, what happened in service. The lawyer writes it up, you sign it under penalty of perjury. It's serious business, you can go to prison for lying.
First, always read the papers you're serving. Unless your lawyer, you won't understand it. But it will be loaded with leads, and the lawyer or staff usually give you more info about the case.
When I was a kid, my wife and I were serving a writ of attachment on a lady who kept Liberace's piano. She called the cops and told them we were terrorists. Maybe 5 cop cars showed up. They light me up, after they ID us. The CO got mad and banged on the door of the lady, and he served the documents, yelling at her that those couple of kids . "us" almost got shot. Later, we became friends. He would tell me to be whoever you want, except the Law, and always call the police station of the area you're serving and let them know you're hunting.
Skills sets you need to go after the big game process. Fees are massive and long lasting on many levels.
OK time to hunt. Main tool of all. LEARN TO BE INVISBLE! Don't mean like the invisible man lolol. Nope, much better.
I mentioned three movies that totally influenced how I caught people. To this day and even in bf4 I can DISAPEAR. I have seen King, Red, Stryker and Predator drive right past me lol That's how I can sneak on them every blue moon and plant slam mines in the back of them. Then I run away, shoot their tank. They always reverse, and come after me, and BOOM yeah, they kill me, but I die happy seeing them blow up as I fade away to respawn.
The movie that taught me this lil secret? Firefox with Clint Eastwood. No words can describe, BUT I found the exact clip on you tube. Clint Eastwood is the pilot you see walking through the mayhem to steal the plane. That literally is me walking around in the most important cases you can imagine. Walking through 1500 member law firms, banks, high tech, mega business men, secret haunts, The Oscars, killer wrap parties and mafia HQ's With the sole objective to personally serve, eye to eye a life altering legal document on a person. the list is endless, where you can go and all that you can do when you can't be seen. That made me the best in the world. Here it is, watch it. I'll be back soon to tell you some insane stuff and how to use it. HAVEN'T SEEN THAT CLIP IF DECADES WOW WHAT A MEMORY
