Common Questions

FAQs

How do I get started?

Fill out the contact form or call me directly. I'll confirm your service area, get the details, and give you a clear timeline and total cost before I begin.

What if service can't be completed?

If I'm unable to serve after the agreed number of attempts, I'll provide a detailed non-service report at no additional charge. We'll discuss skip tracing options if needed.

Do you serve outside the 5-county area?

Yes, in many cases. Contact me with the location and I'll let you know if I can cover it and what the mileage add-on would be.

How do I send the documents?

I accept documents by email (PDF), mail, or drop-off by arrangement. We'll confirm the preferred method when you request service.

Do you work with law firms on retainer?

Absolutely. Law firms and legal departments with ongoing volume are encouraged to contact me about retainer arrangements and preferred pricing.
