When individuals attempt to avoid legal responsibilities, they often underestimate the persistence of professional investigators. Recently, Covert Results was hired to serve a civil warrant on a subject with a history of evasion. What unfolded demonstrates the skill, patience, and determination it takes to complete a process service successfully.
Service of process may sound straightforward: deliver the paperwork, obtain the signature, and file the return. But when the subject goes out of their way to avoid being found, the process becomes significantly more complicated. In this case, the individual had a pattern of moving between multiple addresses, hiding vehicles blocks away from their home, and constantly shifting routines. The goal was simple—avoid service at all costs. For many, these tactics might seem like enough to keep the system at bay. For professional investigators, however, it is only a matter of time.
In Tennessee, service of process is a legal requirement to ensure due process. Courts cannot move forward with civil or criminal matters until the defendant has been properly notified. While sheriffs and deputies can serve papers, their priorities are often pulled in many directions, and process service isn’t always at the top of their workload. That’s why clients frequently hire licensed investigators. Unlike routine attempts that may stall out, professional process servers have the time, resources, and persistence to handle the difficult cases. Every attempt is documented, every lead is followed, and when the subject tries to disappear, surveillance and strategy take over.
Surveillance is often the key to overcoming evasion. At Covert Results, investigators rely on proven techniques to get results, from verifying addresses and monitoring vehicles to discreetly observing public places where the individual is known to appear. In this particular case, the subject was tracked far outside their last known location—nearly 150 miles away. The evasive behavior only delayed the inevitable. With careful observation and methodical investigative work, the subject was identified, approached, and properly served. The service was recorded, the return signed, and the case moved forward.
