Stephen Snyder, a veteran process server since 1991 and owner of FindMyLegal.com plus multiple companies in CA, ID, HI, and UT, shares insights from decades in the industry. His worst experience was being attacked with a beer bottle while serving papers, reinforcing the need to stay alert. His best was helping a client collect a $30,000 judgment by recording it against the defendant's property, leading to payment during refinancing. Now focused on helping new servers build their online presence, Stephen advises: keep it simple, network, use smart tools, and diversify income for long-term success.
