Stop Chasing Your Process Server | Uthe Investigations & Process Service
If you constantly find yourself having to stop what you’re doing and chase your process server for updates, documentation, affidavits, or assignment status, the problem may not be the case—it may be the process service company. At Uthe Investigations & Process Service, we believe clients should not have to chase their process server to find out what is happening.
One of the most common complaints attorneys, landlords, businesses, property managers, and litigation professionals have about process service is surprisingly simple:
They never know what is happening.
Documents are submitted.
Days pass.
Then the client begins following up.
Did you receive the documents?
Was payment received?
Have any attempts been made?
What happened at the address?
Is the defendant avoiding service?
Has the affidavit been completed?
Unfortunately, many process service providers still rely on outdated systems that require clients to repeatedly request updates, track down affidavits, and manage assignments themselves.
At Uthe Investigations & Process Service, we believe clients should spend their time managing cases, not managing process servers.
The Problem With Traditional Process Service
Many process service companies still operate using a largely manual workflow.
Assignments are tracked through emails, spreadsheets, handwritten notes, text messages, and individual phone calls.
As a result, clients often find themselves acting as project managers rather than legal professionals.
Instead of focusing on litigation strategy, property management, collections, insurance claims, or business operations, they spend valuable time requesting status updates and chasing documentation.
Professional process service should provide visibility, accountability, and documentation without requiring constant client involvement.
A Better Approach: Automated Process Service Management
For our in area process service, Uthe Investigations & Process Service utilizes a modern digital workflow system designed to keep clients informed automatically throughout the life of an assignment.
Our process is straightforward.
Documents Are Submitted
Clients simply email their documents to:
Assignments Are Entered Into Our System
Once received, the assignment is entered into our case management system and prepared for service.
Electronic Invoicing
An invoice is emailed directly to the client.
Secure Online Payment
Clients can pay securely using a debit card or credit card through Stripe.
Once payment is received, a paid receipt is automatically generated and emailed to the client.
Service Attempts Begin
Service attempts are made at the address provided by the client.
Our standard process service includes up to four attempts at one address.
Every Attempt Is Documented
Each service attempt is documented within the system.
This creates accountability while maintaining a clear record of assignment activity.
Automatic Status Updates
After each documented attempt, status updates are automatically generated.
Clients receive email notifications as progress occurs.
Rather than contacting the office for routine updates, information is delivered automatically throughout the assignment.
Electronic Affidavit Delivery
Once service is completed, affidavits are delivered electronically to the client.
Local Court E-Filing Support
For many local courts, completed affidavits can also be electronically filed and copies provided back to the client.
The result is a streamlined process that reduces administrative workload while keeping clients informed from beginning to end.
Stop Chasing Your Process Server With Automated Updates
The value of process service is not simply delivering legal documents.
Value is knowing what is happening throughout the assignment.
Automatic updates eliminate uncertainty.
Clients know:
- Assignments are received (invoice emailed)
- Payment is processed (paid receipt emailed)
- When attempts are made (updates emailed)
- What occurred during those attempts (notes included)
- When service is completed (updates emailed)
- As soon as affidavits are available (Affidavits shared via email)
The result is fewer phone calls, fewer emails, fewer delays, and a more organized process from start to finish.
When Routine Process Service Becomes Difficult
Many assignments begin as routine matters.
Not all of them stay that way.
Defendants relocate.
Addresses become outdated.
Some individuals work unusual schedules.
Others actively avoid service.
When this happens, clients should not be left wondering whether anything is being done.
Uthe Investigations & Process Service specializes in difficult assignments and continues to provide visibility throughout the process.
Our agency offers:
- Hard-to-Serve Process Service
- Alias Buster Service
- Must Be Served Service
- Illinois Skip Tracing for Process Service
- Skip-to-Serve Service
Rather than simply reporting that service was unsuccessful, our team works to identify solutions and continue moving the assignment forward whenever legally possible.
Even when assignments become challenging, clients continue receiving documented updates and automatic notifications as progress occurs.
Professional process service should provide answers, not uncertainty.
