PDK Investigations: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Patrick did an outstanding job serving papers in my case. I was referred to him by someone at the courthouse who said he was the best, and they were absolutely right. This was a second attempt to serve the defendant after another process server made five unsuccessful attempts because the person would not answer the door. The judge had indicated the case could be dismissed if service was not completed, so the situation was very time-sensitive. I provided Patrick with some information about the person’s schedule, and he acted quickly and successfully completed service right away. Patrick was extremely professional, responsive, and effective. I highly recommend him if you need a reliable process server.

Fantastic experience: I called pdk investigations last week and spoke to Patrick about serving an eviction notice. Patrick was very professional and responded to me right away. Within a couple of hours my eviction notice was served. I highly recommend pdk investigations. Thank you for the immediate response.

Fantastic experience: Patrick provided exceptional work with helping me find 2 individuals and serve them in a very efficient manner and took the time prior to doing the job, to explain his work and details to the tasks he was going to undertake in order to complete my requests, and he followed through with everything he said. Very reasonable pricing and helpful. I could have not asked for a better company to hire for private investigation and process serving.

Negative experience: Patrick Lee will make false accusations by calling the sheriff's department, claiming your minor child is left home alone. I suppose that's how his business is run – full of lies and instilling fear in your kids.

Helen Taylor Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Patrick responded to my email request for service very quickly. He assured me he would get paperwork served and told me not to worry. And he did! He kept me informed as it took a few days to arrange a meet up time. Hope I never need his services again but will call if I do. Highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Patrick when he served custody paperwork to my ex-husband. From start to finish, Patrick was incredibly professional and efficient. He navigated the process quickly, ensuring that everything was handled smoothly. I especially appreciated his attentiveness; he made sure to serve the paperwork at a time when my son was not present, which alleviated a lot of stress during an already challenging situation. I highly recommend Patrick for his dedication and professionalism in handling sensitive matters. In the future, if I ever need assistance with a legal situation, I will definitely not hesitate to contact Patrick! Thanks Again! --- Feel free to modify any part of it to better reflect your experience!

Fantastic experience: Patrick was great! He was very professional and understanding. Patrick got the job done much quicker than I thought was possible and all within a manageable price. I really appreciate the ease of communication that was offered and the quick responses to all my questions. I really felt like there was dedication shown toward my needs, and that was all the more helpful in a matter that had me feeling overwhelmed. Thank you again to Patrick and his team, I'd reach out for their help again without hesitation!

Fantastic experience: My first time using PDK Investigations. Found them on PASCO Clerk's approved list of process servers. I will use PDK Investigations in the future.

Mark Anderson Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having been a former State Police Trooper in Virginia I always take the opportunity to trust my business with other former law enforcement officers who are now process servers. Patrick responded to my request for an assignment I needed accomplished in Tampa, Florida. We had been trying to locate and serve the recipient of these pleadings for months and when we finally located her we needed to have her served before she changed her mind about meeting an agent or moved again. When I saw on Patrick's web site he was a former police officer I was quick to get this assignment to him. He got it completed in an expeditious manner and also was able to get a photograph of her identification which will be very important for this particular situation to our client here in Virginia. JOB WELL DONE! Highly recommended. Thank you so much Patrick.

Fantastic experience: We have been using PDK Investigations for pre-employment background checks for years. This company is detailed and timely with the reports needed to aide in the decision of hiring an employee. PDK has saved us from so many people that would have been a detriment to our company. We will never use anyone else nor we will ever hire without using their fantastic service. Highly recommend them!
