A stakeout is a specialized legal support service.

We don’t just guess. Instead, we execute a professional, multi-step plan to succeed in our process server stakeout service focused on Metairie and New Orleans, as we find evasive defendants with specialized methods.
First, we use our licensed, non-public databases (like TLO and Accurint) to build a pattern of life. We check for new addresses, vehicle registrations, and known associates. In short, we don’t just find an address; we find the right address and the right time to be there.
Next, our server begins surveillance at the confirmed location. We watch for the individual to arrive or leave. Because we are professionals, our methods are discreet and do not draw attention.
The moment we positively identify the subject, we approach and complete the service of process legally and professionally. Furthermore, our servers are trained to handle all types of confrontations calmly and effectively.
Finally, you receive an immediate update, followed by a notarized Affidavit of Service and (if requested) the body-camera video evidence of the serve.
transcript-_What is a Process Server Stakeout_ How We Serve Evasive Defendants._
“We had a defendant in Metairie who had evaded three different servers for months. We hired Scott’s team for a stakeout. Not only did they find him, but they served him by 7 AM the next day. They are the only team we call now for difficult serves.” – Mike F, Attorney, Jefferson Parish
Q: Is a stakeout legal in Louisiana? A: Yes, 100%. Our professionals operate from public property and are fully compliant with all state privacy and anti-stalking laws. However, we will not trespass or use illegal methods.
Q: How long does a stakeout usually take? A: We typically recommend a 2 to 4-hour block. While some serves happen in the first 20 minutes, others require patience. We will work with you to determine the most cost-effective plan based on the intelligence we gather.
Q: What if you still don’t serve them? A: A stakeout is never a “failure.” Even if we don’t complete the serve, we gain valuable intelligence (e.g., verifying a vehicle, confirming a schedule, or proving the subject doesn’t live there), which is critical for the next attempt or for a motion in court.
