Private investigator and process server in Chester
I do not have an office in Chester. I am based in Shavington, Crewe, and travel along the A51 to Chester, Ellesmere Port and the rest of west Cheshire for process serving, tracing enquiries and defence work.
Chester's courts, and the work that comes from them
Chester has two main court buildings. Civil and family cases, including money claims and possession claims, are dealt with at the Chester Civil and Family Justice Centre in Trident House on Little St John Street. Serious criminal cases are heard at Chester Crown Court at the Castle, on Grosvenor Street.
Both generate work that has to be done on the ground: documents served in person, tenants and debtors traced so a claim can proceed, and evidence gathered for the defence before a trial.
I am Frank, an ex-frontline police officer. Lawful instructions only, with a fixed price agreed before I start.
Areas I cover around Chester
The city centre, Hoole, Upton, Newton, Blacon, Handbridge, Boughton, Saltney and Vicars Cross, plus Ellesmere Port, Neston, Frodsham and Tarporley. The Flintshire side of the border can be covered by arrangement.
What I do for Chester clients
- Process serving — personal service of claim forms, orders and other documents, with a certificate of service you can file.
- Tenant tracing for landlords and debtor tracing, including tenants who have left student or city-centre lets.
- Criminal defence investigations for solicitors with cases at Chester Crown Court: witness tracing and statements, CCTV recovery and scene visits.
- Background checks and public record searches, done at the desk and reported in writing.
I also cover Warrington, Crewe, Nantwich and the rest of Cheshire.
