Professional Process Server in Nashville, TN
Fast, documented, court-compliant process serving for attorneys, businesses, and individuals throughout Nashville and Davidson County.
Nashville's courts move a higher volume of civil filings than anywhere else in Tennessee, and Davidson County's sheriff's civil division carries the backlog to prove it. When an attorney or a pro se filer needs a summons, subpoena, or divorce complaint served on a deadline, waiting weeks for a sheriff's return isn't always an option. Birds Eye Investigations' process serving division handles service throughout Davidson County and the surrounding metro, from downtown high-rises to the neighborhoods circling the interstate loop, with same-week standard service and rush options when a filing date is close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Nashville-area attorneys and clients before requesting service.
Sheriff's civil divisions are often backed up for weeks and only attempt service during business hours. A private process server can attempt service faster, at more flexible hours, and provide more detailed documentation than a standard sheriff's return.
Standard service is typically completed within a few business days. If you're up against a filing deadline, our rush and same-day service options can get papers served far faster, statewide.
That's where our background as licensed investigators matters. We can skip trace a subject who's dodging service, locating a current address or workplace, and then complete service properly instead of returning the papers unserved.
No. Every serve is documented with GPS coordinates, timestamps, and photo or video proof, and our affidavits have never been successfully challenged for defective service.
No. Unlike national process serving companies that farm jobs out to whatever independent contractor is available in a given zip code, every serve is carried out by our own licensed staff under one chain of custody.
Yes. We serve individuals, corporations, and registered agents throughout Tennessee, and our statewide licensure means a case that spans multiple counties doesn't require hiring a second server.
