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.

Process Service in New York City Metropolitan Area (includes New York City and surrounding counties in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey)

$95 per hour

We DO NOT CHARGE on a per document or per person served basis. 
We have always found it to be more cost effective to group services together so that you pay only for the man-hours involved in effecting service of process

Service of Process Out of State (beyond New York, New Jersey, Connecticut). This includes Canada

$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

New York State Secretary of State, Albany, NY

$90

This is per corporation or other business entity for which the NYS Secretary of State may accept process.  Add overnight delivery per order (generally $32).  Fee to Secretary of State is $40.  $7 fee for use of our funds to make this disbursement.

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

$85 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.
