Nationwide Process Servers

About Us - Stockton, CA Process Servers

National Court Research is located in Stockton, California and we serve Statewide California and Nationwide. We were founded with one goal in mind - to bring the power of professional tools to the general public at affordable prices. After years of watching hardworking people spend thousands of dollars on private investigators and other specialists, we felt there had to be a better way. We put the power of the professional tools in your hands, and we strive to maintain a low overhead to keep our prices as low as possible.

Our mission is to give our clients the tools, experience, and the service backbone needed to customize the ideal legal research, data collection, and service of process environment.

Additionally, we will ask whether the subject has a criminal record, what type of criminal record, if the person has a propensity for violence, and what he/she looks like. Stake out fees for subjects with a propensity for violence or a prior criminal history which we deem violent require a two-man team, doubling the fee.
