I was looking for a process server in the Bay Area and thank goodness I found Rivera & Associates! If you need a process server, he is your guy. Communication is excellent and the price was also reasonable. Better than others I saw online. I would recommend to anyone!

Mr. Rivera was the best choice I could of made for this. He helped me serve papers out of state, which I thought would be an impossible task. I provided him with the information he asked for and he took care of business. He was always available to communicate and made the whole process easy. I’m so thankful for him and his help. Thank you

I discussed with Roberto a sensitive legal issue. Although I did not hire him personally, he was open and gave me much appreciated advice and I would recommend him to others

Thumbtack customerMay 2016

Roberto was very efficient with what i needed and was also very accommodating. I was extremely please and highly recommend Rivera & Associates to anyone i know. I put off hiring Private Investigators for years and i cam across a situation i had no choice but to hire. I interviewed many and no one seems to take the time to actually listen to my needs and concerns like Roberto. Thank you again Roberto for all your help.

Thumbtack customerFeb 2016

I initially called Mr. Rivera for a quote. I explained my situation to him & he provided me with a great, free, local resource to help do what I needed done. There were no sales tactics used by him, which is nice. He seemed to just genuinely want to help out, and he did. I would definitely recommend Mr. Rivera to anyone in need of a PI.

Thumbtack customerJul 2014

After engaging the services of Rivera & Associates I was very surprised at the speed with which Roberto reported back to me that he had retrieved detail in formation. I was even suspicious. Upon reviewing his report I was very surprised, even disturbed, at the level of detail that could be obtained in such a short period of time. Kudos to Roberto! He was very professional and very fast. I plan to ask for his services again.

Thumbtack customerJul 2014

Roberto disappeared and dropped out of communication. After weeks of no contact he apologized and promised to start work, but did not produce the material requested. To this point he has cut off contact, and refuses to refund the money paid to him. Stay away - find another PI. "Sometime after this initial review the provider contacted me and offered a complete refund of the deposit. I am very happy that we found an honourable conclusion.
