EP 06 - Jeff Cremean - Process Server in Ohio

Описание: In this episode of the Mighty Process Server podcast, host Mighty Mike Reed sits down with Ohio process server Jeff Cremean, a 25+ year veteran of the industry. Jeff shares how he went from law-firm mailroom runner to owner of Encore and City Wide Legal Messenger Service, why simplicity still wins in business, and what it’s like to manage a busy team of servers handling everything from child support to high-profile cases.

Jeff talks about his worst field experience—when four angry family members showed up at his office because a newbie server pounded on grandma’s door—and the lessons it taught him about training, prudence, and compassion. He also shares one of his favorite wins, serving a wealthy serial dodger who eventually shook his hand and said, “You got me.” From chasing a notorious neo-Nazi, to using neighbors as a powerful skip tracing tool, to why common sense and communication will protect you better than any weapon, this episode is packed with stories and practical guidance for new and veteran servers alike.
