Reviews

★★★★★
“We hired Gates & Associates for a batch of cases, and Kaden knocked them out fast! His personality, professionalism, and quick turnaround for process serving exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend! We’re glad we trusted him with these cases; we’re definitely calling him again next time!”

Testimonial by Crown Legal Group

★★★★★
“Kaden is a professional. He has been a server for me for over 3 years now and always gets the job done. Even if it is a non serve he gets the best notes to determine where to move forward. If someone is evading, he doubles down and gets them served somehow. He always responds to phone/text and emails, and is always willing to work with you on price if needed but he is worth every penny. He is hands down one of my best servers, not just in East TN but the entire state.”

Testimonial by Hutch Serves, LLC - TAPPS Board Member

★★★★★
“Thanks to the skip tracing, I found my husband. I finally got him served and moved forward with my divorce! Saved me hours of searching and a whole lot of stress. You found him and served him so fast, I wish I had found you sooner. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
