— What We Do
Professional Process Serving in Nashville & Middle Tennessee
Process serving is the formal legal procedure of delivering court documents — summonses, subpoenas, divorce papers, complaints, restraining orders, and more — to the named individual in accordance with Tennessee law. It is a critical step in virtually every legal proceeding, and when it goes wrong, entire cases can be delayed, dismissed, or derailed. Getting it right matters.
At Birds Eye Investigations, our licensed process servers operate across Nashville, Davidson County, Williamson County, Rutherford County, and all of Middle Tennessee — delivering documents professionally, documenting service with court-admissible affidavits, and handling even the most evasive subjects with the kind of disciplined persistence you only get from a veteran-owned agency.
We serve individuals, businesses, and attorneys throughout Middle Tennessee. Whether you need standard residential service, commercial process serving, evasive subject service, or same-day rush delivery — Birds Eye gets it done. And when a subject can't be found, our built-in skip tracing capability means we can locate them and serve them without you having to instruct a second agency.

Common Questions
Process Serving FAQs
-
Q - What documents can you serve in Tennessee?
We serve virtually any legal document required under Tennessee law — summonses, complaints, divorce and custody papers, subpoenas, restraining orders, eviction notices, wage garnishments, writs, and any other court-issued or court-required documentation. If you're unsure whether we can serve your specific document, call us at (615) 200-7064 and we'll confirm immediately.
-
Q - What happens if the subject refuses to accept the documents?
Under Tennessee law, a subject does not need to physically accept documents for service to be valid. If a subject refuses to take the papers, our process server can still complete legal service by leaving documents in the presence of the subject and documenting the encounter. We are fully trained in Tennessee's rules for substituted and refused service, and our affidavits reflect this accordingly.
-
Q - How many attempts do you make before reporting a failed service?
We never give up after a single attempt. Our process servers make multiple attempts at varied times of day — morning, evening, and weekend — to maximize contact probability. For evasive subjects, we escalate to our skip tracing capability to verify current address and employment before further attempts. We keep you informed throughout and only report non-service after exhausting all practical options.
-
Q - How quickly can you serve documents in Nashville or Middle Tennessee?
Standard service is typically completed within 1–3 business days. Rush and same-day service is available across Nashville and Middle Tennessee for urgent matters — contact us at (615) 200-7064 and we'll dispatch a process server immediately. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for time-critical service requests.
-
Q - Do you provide proof of service for Tennessee court filings?
Yes. Every process serving engagement includes a signed, notarized affidavit of service documenting the date, time, location, method of service, and physical description of the individual served. This affidavit meets all Tennessee court filing requirements and is delivered to you promptly following service completion.
-
Q - Can you serve someone who is hiding or avoiding service in Middle Tennessee?
Yes — this is one of our specialties. Where standard process servers fail on evasive subjects, Birds Eye applies investigative surveillance and skip tracing to locate the subject first, then serve them on our terms. We have one of the highest evasive service success rates in Middle Tennessee precisely because we are a full-service investigative agency, not just a document delivery service.
