Poorest example of legal process servers I’ve EVER seen in 30 years of legal work. On top of it they’re crooks and illegally charged my card without my permission. I had used when originally hiring them 5 months prior. If ZERO stars was an option I would have selected it!!

Why Choose On-Call for Process Serving in Modesto, CA
Service Tiers
Standard, rush, and same-day tiers can be selected at order time. Pricing follows the tier and the address, in line with what a process server costs in California.
Rush Service
A rush tier moves the first attempt up in the queue when timing matters. The rush fee is added to the standard rate.
Same-Day If Scheduled
Same-day attempts can be requested when scheduling allows. Order timing and address determine whether it can be confirmed.
Evening Attempts
Evening attempts can be added to an order when the recipient is hard to catch during business hours.
Logged Visit Times
Each visit is timestamped to the account, so the diligence record is in one place without a separate export.
Planned Stakeouts
For evasive recipients, a stakeout window can be added with a defined time block.
Account Proof of Service
The finished proof is posted to your account, ready to download or forward.
Filing With the Court
Court filing can be added to the order with the appropriate court when the matter calls for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Stanislaus County courthouse handles Modesto civil cases?
Civil and family-law matters from Modesto are typically handled at the Stanislaus County Superior Court on West 11th Street in Modesto. Probate matters route through the same courthouse.
How fast can service in Modesto be completed?
Most orders see a first attempt within a few business days. Same-day handling can be requested at order time when scheduling allows, with timing depending on order placement and the address.
Do you handle service in Modesto’s agricultural areas and orchard properties?
Yes. Addresses outside the city limits, including agricultural and orchard properties along Highway 99 and Highway 132, are handled with detailed location notes added to the proof of service.
Can service be attempted at Stanislaus County Sheriff facilities?
In-custody service requires advance scheduling. The Stanislaus County Public Safety Center on Hackett Road typically handles Modesto arrestees. Order details should include booking information so the visit can be coordinated.
Do you handle service in older Modesto neighborhoods like Tuolumne or Graceada Park?
Yes. Older neighborhoods often include split-house conversions or accessory units. The server verifies the actual unit before posting and adds identifiers to the visit notes.
What hours typically work best for serving papers in Modesto?
Early mornings and evenings tend to be the most reliable windows for residential addresses. Many Modesto residents commute outside the city for work, so attempt windows are timed around a commuter's hours rather than midday, which often misses them.
I had an exceptional experience with On-Call Legal Process Servers. They were incredibly reliable and efficient, especially when I needed rush service over the weekend. Their website was very user-friendly, providing clear fee information, and their outstanding customer service further boosted my confidence in their services, which made them an easy choice out of the many process server companies I looked into. Thanks to their prompt delivery, the served party contacted me shortly afterward to settle the case. Given their extensive coverage beyond Los Angeles, I plan to use them again soon for a small claims case in Riverside County.
I had to file a Writ of Review with the California Court of Appeal. I contact several services for assistances most were not interested and others didn't provide the services I needed. I called On-Call Legal Process Servers and spoke to one of their staff. The staff member gave me a list of services they provide everything from a small claims court, to Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court. They will assist you in the filing all court documents and proof of service. To get start with On-Call Legal Process Servers and more an account has to be opened online. Before charges can be posted to the account an Email is sent out listing the proposed charges. The staff returns Email questions and orders during their normal business hours during the same day. On-Call Legal Process Servers file the writ for me and obtain the filing court's case number.
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to On-Call Legal through a family friend for services of process. Not only were the owners Brandon & David incredibly kind, but their process servers were professional, fast and affordable. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.
On-Call was absolutely AMAZING! Our trial team at Brown Goldstein & Levy flew into LA for a USDC trial from Baltimore. From first contact, On-Call was professional, prompt & handled everything we threw at them from exhibit binders for the Court and parties, to delivery to Court to meet our 8:30 am filing deadline! David A & his team handled everything! Looking forward to working with them again!
