In a world where legal services typically highlight attorneys and judges, the role of the process server is often overlooked—until you find yourself in a legal battle needing that critical document served. Jesus Rios, CEO and owner of multiple process serving firms, including Process Server Of Downtown Sacramento and Jesus Rios Private Investigations, is determined to change this landscape. Based in Sacramento, Rios has transformed his legal service firm into a one-stop shop for individuals needing assistance with legal documents to be served, such as divorce filings, small claims, and restraining orders, in addition to conducting background investigations.
Rios’s knack for market research and client feedback led him to what he calls the “trifecta” of services. Clients not only seek legal document serving but also inquire about private investigations and fingerprinting services. Recognizing this demand, he invested in expanding his offerings to better serve his community.
With a background in analyzing organized retail crime, embezzlement, and fraud for large corporations, Rios brings valuable insights to his investigations. Initially pursuing a degree in criminal justice and completing police training, he shifted his focus toward entrepreneurship and self-education in financial literacy, allowing him to create a business that prioritizes accessibility and genuine support.
The Uphill Battle of Legal Services
Navigating the saturated market of legal services can feel daunting for Rios. “It’s tough out there,” he admits, noting the challenges presented by a lack of knowledge and professionalism in the field. Many attorney firms rush overworked paralegals to find process servers to ensure timely service of legal documents. “That’s one reason I developed a training program. It not only benefits my business but uplifts the industry.”
The traditional course of action to become a process server, coupled with the lack of professional institutions teaching aspiring servers, is unfortunate. Rios felt compelled to address this gap, stating, “I want to benefit not only my business but also my field, especially for those who have little idea of what they’re getting into. They must understand the legal requirements to become a process server and the steps involved in conducting service. The process in California can be daunting.”
Rios designed his website with the consumer in mind, streamlining the process for clients to easily submit orders within minutes. “I wanted to make it hassle-free,” he emphasizes.
Looking ahead, Rios is excited about advancements in AI technology and his commitment to continuous education and mentoring. “Maybe one day technology will replace the process server role we need in society,” he muses, “but until then, I’ll focus on better assisting my community.”
He adds a lighthearted touch to his mission: “You know that line, ‘You’ve been served!’—like in the movies? If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I’d be rich!” Rios acknowledges the misconceptions about legal processes but aims to make them as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
Through his training program, Rios equips aspiring process servers with the skills and professionalism necessary to succeed, fostering a community of competent professionals ready to serve.
