Yes, there is an additional cost to carry out a service at the Army Base and keep in mind that we may request a specific building address as the garrison is a large complex.

Yes, but this information must be provided in advanced so that we know what we are up against. Depending on the case and the sensitivity of the matter we may have to refer you over to the Edmonton Police Services.
It rarely happens but on occasion we may exhaust all 5 attempts and have nothing to show for it except for a few close calls. After the 5th attempt we recommend that you return to the courts and ask the judge or clerk for permission to carry out a substitute service, meaning that you have attempted all means possible to serve the individual or group in person and nothing else can be done, but you may know where their mother/father lives, or have contact with them on Facebook or know their email address, or you know where they live but they simply won’t answer the door so you can substitute personal by taping it to their door. In this case if granted a substitute order you may service the parties by either of these methods, but the court would like to see that you have exhausted all means of traditional service. We will provide an Affidavit of Attempted Service detailing all the attempts we made to serve and with this document the court or clerk will likely grant you a substitute service order.
The greatest compliment we can receive is a referral for our services, we strive for quality and excellence with each of our clients and it gives us a certain level of satisfaction when we can share in your success by guiding you through a stress free legal process.
