The following provides basic
information concerning our fee structure. Due to
the extensive array of services we are called upon to
provide, it is not possible to provide an all inclusive
list of fees. Please keep in mind that we have
built our reputation through experience and hard
work. We provide honest, effective services in the
most cost efficient manner possible.
Our primary concern is to get the job done
properly. However, we are well aware that doing so
at the least necessary expense is always
important. Harlin Parker, the Director of Target
Research LLC, is one of very few professional
investigators with a background in business and
civil legal affairs, not law enforcement.
This gives him a firsthand understanding as to
your and your clients' concerns about investigative and
all litigation costs. |

City and surrounding counties in Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey) |

Service of Process Out of State (beyond New

$175 min |
Many factors impact
on cost of process out of state, including the
difficulty of completing the task. We may elect to
contract with an associated private investigator
or experienced process server, depending on the
factors involved. By convention in some states, a
fee is imposed for each service, even if effected
by one delivery |

This is per corporation or other business
entity for which the NYS Secretary of State may

make this disbursement. |

Secretary of State or
other state office for service on behalf of a
corporation or business entity |

minimum |
Each state has different requirements or
procedures to effect service upon a domestic or
foreign corporation or business entity in its
jurisdiction. We will be glad to advise you
of the service requirements and associated fees
for any particular situation. |
|
Service of Process in
Foreign Countries (other than
Canada) |
$350
min |
As with out of state service, many factors
impact on the cost and the ability to effect civil
process in any particular country. Documents
may need to be translated into the native
language. Special care must be taken to
assure that it is legal in that country to serve
process in a matter before a court or tribunal of
a non-native country. The person(s)
providing the service must be authorized to
perform that service in the country. And
care must be taken to assure that affidavits of
service, in proper form, fully and completely
notarized are prepared and return on a timely
basis. Service via the Hague Convention may
also be possible, while at the same time not
desirable. |
