About Our Owner

Mr. Ervin A. VanSlambrouck has more than 30 years experience in the law enforcement industry, including 20 years in service to our country as a Military Policeman in the U.S. Army. During his career as an M.P., Mr. VanSlambrouck performed a variety of duties from A.W.O.L. apprehension to civil defense training. At the time of his retirement from the military, he was serving as the Subject Matter Expert on Terrorism and Civil Defense.

Since that time, Mr. VanSlambrouck has worked as a federal law enforcement officer for the Federal Reserve and has worked for Jefferson County, Alabama. It was during his employment with Jefferson County that VanSlam, Inc., was born when Mr. VanSlambrouck was approached by both Deputy Constables and attorneys to perform process serving. What started as a small, part-time job to earn extra money has flourished into a family-owned corporation that employs Mr. VanSlambrouck and most of his family full time.

Currently, we serve the entire state of Alabama. However, we can provide service anywhere in the southeast United States.

Do you charge for mileage?

Absolutely not. Because we provide service to the entire state of Alabama, our process servers are in any part of Alabama on any given day, and our services are arranged geographically so as not to waste time or fuel, there is absolutely no need for our clients to pay mileage.

What if you can't find the defendant?

There are serveral options for finding defendants including surveillance and various database searches. When a defendant can not be located, we provide our clients with a variety of options as well as the fees for such, so that they can decide which option best suits their needs.

How much do you charge?

Our rate schedule is fair and simple...

$70.00 per service (each defendant/address/case number/garnishee) for four attempts at service ANYWHERE in the state of Alabama.

After four attempts, if the client wishes, we can research to determine if there is an alternate address for the defendant. The charge for this research is typically $10.00 per item.

Unlawful Detainers and Termination Notices are POSTED (not served) for $40.00.
