Do you guarantee the person will be served?

No — and any process server who guarantees service is not being honest. ProServer CA guarantees 4 attempts included, GPS-documented evidence, accurate paperwork, and direct communication with Brad from start to finish.

What if the person refuses the papers or hides?

Refusal doesn't void service in California. If the recipient is identified and refuses, we can leave documents near them and it legally counts as served. For evasive subjects we offer skip tracing, stakeout surveillance, substituted service, and can assist with service by publication requests.

What happens after the papers are served?

You receive a GPS-verified, court-ready proof of service electronically — same-day or next-day after completion. Signed under penalty of perjury and ready to file immediately. eFiling available for California courts.

The Story Behind ProServer CA

Brad Sanders

Bakersfield Process Server

CALSPro CCPS #778

I'm based in Bakersfield. 40 years serving California. I personally handle every serve — not a call center, not a stranger. I've seen firsthand what happens when the legal system moves slowly — or when the people responsible for keeping it moving don't show up. Delays in service of process don't just inconvenience attorneys. They derail hearings, postpone justice, and affect real people at the most critical moments of their lives. Divorce proceedings stall. Eviction timelines collapse. Restraining orders get delayed. People waiting on their resolutions are left waiting longer because someone didn't do their job. With 8 years of United States Marine Corps service and years working in public service, I understand accountability. I understand what it means to show up when it counts — no excuses, no dropped balls. When I saw how unreliable servers were failing attorneys and their clients, I started ProServer CA to be the server this community could count on.
