Special Mention to outstanding Process Server Professionals:

John Mckay: John is amazing, simply amazing.  He handles the Northwest region of the state, Skagit, Island, and parts of Whatcom County, and occasionally serves in Snohomish County as well.  John as been working with SSP since 1996, he has served more papers than any other employee working in this area.

Junior Zane: JR has been working with the Moses Lake branch office since 1999.  With fifteen (15) years experience, he’s our “Top” process server in Eastern Washington.  Junior is a US. Marine Vet, who enjoys hunting, and playing golf in his spare time.  Diane and others agree, Junior is the greatest asset of A2Z when it comes down to “Getting the Job Done”.

J&J Process: Jennifer and Jeff Roddel has a great team when it comes to slamming down the process.  Jennifer has been associated with the Service of Process since 1976.  Her Dad stated serving papers in Anchorage Alaska when she was less than a year old, and she has been out in the car serving papers as long as she can remember.  She typed her first affidavit when she was ten years old, and after working for SSP for countless years, doing whatever we needed her to do, she and her husband opened their own business and became sub-contractors.

In case  you are wondering where we found such a wonderful team, Jennifer is the daughter of Greg and MaryLee Rustand, owners of SSP, she and her husband Jeff are carrying on the tradition, they take their son Aidan with them on simple postings from time to time.   Jennifer is a school teacher, working on getting her Masters in Education and continues to serve papers with her husband.  They make the “Hottest Team” when it comes to serving, they serve for both offices, SSP week-day evenings and Moses Lake Branch office one weekend a month.  One weekend a month they conduct a “blitz” and have been known to serve more than 75 to 80 papers in just a day and a half.  When it comes to “getting down to business” this team is hard to beat.  Both offices are happy to have Jennifer and Jeff as servers.

Process Servers

Most of our Process Servers have been serving papers for more than a decade, they know the laws of process for our State, always watch for laws of process concerning out of state papers, and appreciate special case instructions for those “hard to serve” papers. The servers are trained in house and required to pass a written test given by our company.

As you can see, SSP is a small business, with 98% of our Management Team being employed for more than ten years, two of them cresting twenty years of employment out of the thirty years of doing business. SSP is a professional company that treats it’s employees with respect, provides a nice working environment, and offers a fare and reasonable benefit packet in order to provide our clients with service practices that can be Trusted.
