Selected Results
Major Television Personality
Lead counsel was clear: “Without his testimony, we lose.” A formerly cooperating witness – a retired Hall of Fame athlete with residences around the United States – had changed his mind. Mere days remained to locate him then serve a federal trial subpoena he desperately wanted to avoid. Conducted nationwide search for his immediate whereabouts, following leads in Arizona, New York, and Georgia before an obscure Twitter user posted that her son just saw the witness in Pennsylvania. Hours later, the athlete was personally served while taking out the trash at a condo owned through a shell company near Philadelphia.
Sitting Governor
Required to serve the sitting governor of a major state in-hand due to statutory peculiarities surrounding a novel issue and the government’s refusal to waive service. Observed public schedule, selected best event, and engineered interaction with security personnel in order to intercept the Governor discreetly to effect personal service without media attention.
At the Club
After removal from a south Florida nightclub, returned the same night with altered appearance, gained access to the VIP area, and served the owner.
At Sea
Located vessel in US territorial waters off the coast of New Jersey, gained access, then made personal service aboard in a child support matter.
Under Pretext
Ethically engineered in-person meeting under a business pretext to effect simultaneous personal service of 48 civil summonses on a single defendant.
Parental Child Abduction
Traced alleged parental kidnapper to off-grid cabin near Point MacKenzie, Alaska using various sources and methods, including cellular location data and social engineering. After service, the child was safely returned to the east coast. The parent had no previously known ties to Alaska.
Foreign Government Official
Tracked non-diplomatic foreign government official across multiple continents for months until he entered the physical jurisdiction of the United States then coordinated personal service of a deposition subpoena at a major airport in the northeast.

Promoter
Personally served member of NBA superstar’s entourage courtside. Geolocated morning social media story from significant other, then confirmed star’s team was visiting the Thunder. Immediately procured tickets and flew to OKC. Arrived in the second quarter and made service before halftime.
Star Quarterback
After initial rejection, coordinated with general counsel of an NFL franchise to discreetly serve the team’s starting quarterback away from inquiring media. The relationship continued and counsel provided access to active players, often hostile, in dozens of matters over the years before transitioning to a new role.
Travel Nurse
After receiving an accidental tip in Tennessee that a key hostile witness began working two days earlier as a “travel nurse in West Virginia,” contacted literally every hospital in the state, many twice, in order to locate her, then perfected personal service after significant surveillance.
Sophisticated Con Artist
Located previously unknown apartment address in southern California for defendant using only window patterns from recent social media photo. Several buildings were examined before verifying the correct high-rise. Then, the apartment location was confirmed based on a variety of data points including the skyline visible out the window, the position of the sun in the photo, and more. Served personally, against defendant’s will.
