Our Story

A family legacy of persistence.

Serving by Irving began in New York in 1977, when Irving Botwinick, who was managing a law firm and was frustrated by the carelessness he saw from other process servers, decided to get licensed and handle the work himself.

His persistence and street smarts quickly set him apart, and Serving by Irving became known as the firm lawyers all over the country turned to — not only for routine services, but for his specialty: the seemingly impossible.

Today, more than 40 years later, Irving’s daughter-in-law, Tamara, is carrying that family legacy forward in Los Angeles with Serving by Irving West. Guided by Irving’s experience and commitment to excellence, we remain committed to the same values that built our reputation: persistence, precision, and delivering results our clients can count on.

“If they’re alive we’ll serve them; if they’re dead we’ll tell you where they’re buried.”
