Lawrence Ryan investigators is a good firm. They have competent employees. Pricing seems is reasonable. I hired them, but they were not successful in serving court papers due to circumstances beyond everyone's control.

Used them to serve a court summons. They were very professional at keeping me up

Used them to serve a court summons. They were very professional at keeping me updated on the process and completing the task in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs the service that Lawrence Ryan Investigations offer. Also would like to thank Brad for all his help.

Very shady! Brad seemed very knowledgeable about what I needed and eager to help

Very shady! Brad seemed very knowledgeable about what I needed and eager to help. We had a couple of conversations to work out the details. He went away for family business over thanksgiving. I contacted him the Monday after and he told me he'd contact me the following day. Never heard from him again. No return phone calls. No return emails. Nothing! Since the posting of my ONE STAR review on Thumbtack, Larry Ryan negated my review saying I'm not credible and never a client. You're right I wasn't a client because Brad blew me off! Your office staff blew me off! Larry Ryan why don't you ask Brad to forward the November email and the email after I left my ONE STAR review for your firm that he sent me. He blamed your office office staff for not contacting me. The only contacted active clients and not new or prospective clients. Too bad for you. I had a big job and gave it to someone else. There was pending litigation on behalf of my autistic son. The urgency of my requested was expressly communicated to Brad Weaver in our November phone conversation. Your firms lack of response and communication about Brad's personal issues hindered the progression of my case and pushed it back an additional two months. Communication was all I needed, and I couldn't get that. Maybe instead of lying about a bad review, man up and be accountable for your unprofessional office staff. Word of advice: Look elsewhere for a REPUTABLE private investigator!

This company rocks at what they do! Brad explained the entire process to me and gave me a set price for process serving. He kept me informed at each attempt of service. The client in question was avoiding service. This company went above and beyond providing documentation and ultimately serving the client. Kudos and many thanks for a job well done.

Most people will never need a process server, but if you do, I highly recommend Mr. Ryan. A true professional, he gave me same-day service and the best rates in the Chicagoland area.
