- Licensed Detective Agency-No appointment order necessary. Insured for Liability, Work Comp,Trespass, Non-Owned Auto.
- Illinois Agency License # 117-000192
The Illinois Civil Practice Act allows Licensed Detectives or Licensed Detective Agencies to serve court process without special appointment by a Judge. Service can also be done by an employee of a Licensed Detective Agency who has a valid permanent employee registration card (PERC). This person must be an employee and not a “subcontractor” to legally serve court process. Only having a PERC card and not being a W2 employee of the agency would fall outside the parameters of the Illinois Civil Practice Act, hence taking the chance that the service could be quashed.
All mileage billed at $.75 per mile. Additional fees may be assessed for public record and database search fees, tolls, copies, advances and other necessary expenses.
* LEVEL I locates/skiptraces are only available to attorneys, insurance companies and corporations with legitimate business purposes. Clients must be able to provide identifiers for the subject of the search. Extra fees will be assessed for searches without certain identifiers such as DOB or SSN.
