I send a large volume of work to process servers across the country, and SameDay stands out. They are professional, reliable, and genuinely refreshing to work with. Their communication is accurate, efficient, and exactly how a process service should be run. Thank you for consistently delivering excellent service!

Needed some work done while I was out of the country and they were so speedy and reliable!! 10/10 definitely recommend especially if you have a place that needs to be served in the DC area the fee is affordable and worth not having to deal with the hassle.

Summons sent, summons served, and job well done. Mike kept communication between us going to keep us updated with the process. Will work with them again.

Excellent service. I absolutely recommend using Same Day Process. Mike has been great. Thank you for everything!

I highly recommend Same Day Process to anyone looking to effectuate service. They are prompt, attentive to detail, and reasonably priced for a company that, on more than one occasion, has gone above and beyond the effort I expected. I even had a case where they noticed a small, but very relevant typo in a complaint that had already been filed with the Court. They informed me of the error, which neither the Court nor myself had noticed when the filing was submitted and accepted likely saving my client both time and money as I was able to correct the mistake with an amended complaint immediately. I have no intention of using anyone else in the future. If you need documents served, this is the business to trust.

I found Mike to be very professional and focused on the task at hand. He was able to get to the bottom of a situation I had encountered quickly (within an hour or so). I was quite relieved and glad that I contacted him. His fee was reasonable. I would definitely use his services again and would be glad to recommend him to others.

It is rare to find professionals willing to dedicate their time and resources simply because someone needs a helping hand. They listened carefully, understood my circumstances, and offered their expertise completely free of charge. Their unwavering integrity, trustworthiness, and compassion make them exceptional at what they do. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Youlen Detective Agency! Michael and his team are incredibly knowledgeable about local laws and regulations. They handled a very personal matter with professionalism, sensitivity, and care. Their communication was excellent throughout—always prompt, clear, and supportive. The research and follow-up were thorough and impressive. I also appreciated how fair and transparent they were with pricing and billing. Truly a trustworthy and dependable agency!

I have been, for the past several months, unjustifiably, harassed by my neighbors as well as them breaking into my house. I’m extremely fortunate that my research led me to the Youlen Detective Agency. Mr. Youlen’s communication/demeanor was ALWAYS "I got this". Nothing has been beyond his scope of handling this extremely difficult situation. His tactics/surveillance even caught me by surprise. Not only is he SMART and CLEVER, Mr Youlen (Michael) DELIVERS! He will take the necessary course of action to ENSURE the job is completed! I will be forever grateful to Mr. Youlen AND know that I can turn to him in times of need!!

Michael Youlen is the BEST Private Investigator that I have ever used. I needed some work done to find an individual and it was done the same day. I also needed someone served, and it was done over the weekend, so by Monday, it had already been done. I HIGHLY recommend Michal Youlen as a Private Investigator. He was also very pleasant with me and always answered my emails in a timely fashion. Thank you Michael!

This was a lovely bookstore! Very clean and well stocked with so many items. It’s not as big as some other stores, but they have just what you’re looking for! Great place to browse and find a good book to read 📚 They have books, magazines, manga, Legos, toys, puzzles, stationery, agenda books, collectibles and more. The Starbucks area is quite large and has ample seating. They have all the holiday drinks available, but no merchandise for sale.

Barnes & Noble in Ashburn is my go-to spot! The store is bright, clean, and always well organized, with a huge selection of books, games, and gifts. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and I love the cozy café for grabbing a coffee while I browse. The kids’ section is amazing too—perfect for families. Such a welcoming place to spend time!

This is a nicely laid out, two-story B&N. Comfortable seats in the "reading area." It is rare that we don't find the books or other items carried in these stores we are looking for, and today was no exception. My wife was looking for a particular book in paperback and B&N had what she was looking for. Super friendly and helpful staff!

Good tailored local selection. Indoor the store was both busy with each of my now 2 visits— and generally a bit warm on the climate control. (Spring evening, was about 4-6*F warmer than normal comfort level— so I’d say it would have been 75-78F with the temperature outside cooler.)

The toilets are in a terrible state every time I've been there. I understand that the staff is not to blame for the customers' behavior, but there can't be paper everywhere on the floor all day and it smells terrible. Just hire someone to help this people there with this. This place is always full and they hardly have time for it. Also, some of the staff members a few times automatically leaves a tip when I order coffee without giving me a choice as to whether to do so or how much. It's not about the money because I always leave more than I should, but it's just unprofessional.

There were Five of us who decided to try the Jail Break room and found it to be challenging but it needs some work with some of the clues found. One of the clues found was a card that was supposed to to have a lightening bolt on it but the black marker used on the laminate was simply worn away so there was no way we could know there was a lightning bolt that would have led use to solving another clue until we asked for help. Another problem was a series of paper clues that were semi transparent but they were so wrinkled and worn you could barely see through them which was needed to solve another puzzle. Then we found a small card that again was pretty shabby and almost worn out. These clues need to be replaced with ones that are readable and not shabby. As owners of the escape rooms it is the attention to maintaining the props that should be detail addressed. For $ 38.00 per person, one expects the clues to be properly maintained. We may have made it out of the room in time if we could have been able to read what was on the card and semi transparent papers. You need to do better here.

We had so much fun as novice escape room people. The owner was super flexible after I booked then had to reschedule last minute. HENRY was an excellent game master. Can’t recommend enough. It was hard but not too much for our 12/13 year olds to help along. We will def be back.

Great place for kids to spend an hour but overall presentation is pretty underwhelming. The front lounge area could use a bit of sprucing to hang out while you wait. There is no party room to host a small birthday etc. Staff is very nice and accommodating.

Did both Jail Break and the Cold War room with some of my friends and we had a blast. Our Host Henry was amazing!!

We had yet again an amazing experience at Escape Room Ashburn! We came here once before and attempted to do the Sherlock Holmes room and were unsuccessful, however we had such a great time that we came back again for another attempt but this time in the Cold War Room! From the moment we walked in, everything was well organized and exciting, but what really made the experience stand out was our game master, Luke. Luke was fantastic! He set the scene perfectly, explained everything clearly, and was there to help guide us when we needed clues without giving too much away. His timing with the hints was perfect and really helped keep the game fun and challenging rather than frustrating. We chose the Cold War room, which we learned is one of their hardest rooms with only about a 40% escape rate. It was incredibly immersive with clever puzzles and a great storyline that kept our whole group engaged the entire time. The pressure definitely built toward the end, but thanks to some great teamwork (and Luke’s helpful clues), we escaped with just 2 minutes to spare! It was such a rush when the door finally opened. The puzzles were challenging but fair, the room design was awesome, and the overall experience was a blast. If you’re thinking about trying an escape room in the area, I highly recommend Escape Room Ashburn and if you get Luke as your game manager, you’re in great hands! We’ll definitely be back to try another room.

I took Unarmed n Armed training class here.and it was wonderful, they explain everything till you get it …and all of them professionals, and treat u like family 😊😊

Had lots of fun taking my armed security course with the elite agency. The staff instructors here are superb. Definitely some of the best at what they do. Special shout to Crayons, Hunchback, Ali and Brandon. You guys are awesome, by far some of the best instructors I’ve ever had the privilege to learn from. I will definitely be back for more training in the future, and highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to work in the security field. These folks will prepare you for the future. 💪🏽 Respectfully yours Tim

These folks know what they are doing. The instructors have many years experience in the field. They are professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Safety is first so they will teach you all the safety basics and guidelines. I took a few classes with Elite IPA and I highly recommend them. Job well done.

Such a great school to take your unarmed course! When I decide whether I want to become an Armed Officer, I will definitely be back here. My instructor Mr. Ali was awesome. He knows his stuff and makes the class enjoyable considering it’s a 9 hour course for 2 days. They have a clean break room where they offer coffee and water. Clean restrooms. Nice and cool AC. The prices are pretty reasonable as well, they go through the whole DCJS process in detail. They make sure you know the material for the exam at the end. Overall, pretty great school, definitely worth your time and money! Highly recommend.

A real top notch school.. The courses are full of A1 information and the instructors are relateable and give realistic expectations. I enjoyed dealing with the personnel so much that I've gone back repeatedly to get other certifications and credentials. If I had to take the course over again I'd be going back to the same people.. I don't leave many reviews on here because I tend not to care so much or have high expectation of businesses in general, This being said I was very impressed with my results and dealings with Elite IPA

Great company! The business owners, Brian and Sharon, go the extra mile in getting our papers served, more so than any company I have previously hired. These folks are winners, I wish more business owners were of their mindset.

Brian was great! Super helpful, available anytime (even in the evening), service accomplished the very next day. Highly recommend!

If I could give zero stars I would. There is nothing worse than a liar and this company blatantly lied in an Affidavit submitted to the courts. McKenna/Russo out of Annapolis uses this company. They have dates on their affidavits that they came that they indeed did not and I have proof to prove they are liars. Maybe it’s because they didn’t want to drive all the way to Calvert since they seem to be in Westminster… I think this company needs to keep in mind people have cameras on their homes that aren’t visible. I’d be more than happy to post their affidavit along with my camera footage to prove this company is nothing but liars. Please beware of using this company if you truly need something served. I will be filing a complaint with the Maryland state police licensing division.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve worked with Maverick Process Services and Investigations in Baltimore for the last 2 years, and you truly cannot find a better process server in the area. Brian and his team are my go-to whenever I need reliable service of process in Maryland. They are knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to consult on best practices, making them an invaluable resource for attorneys and colleagues alike. What I really appreciate is how Brian looks out for his clients and the strong support he provides when I subcontract for him in the Ohio area. His integrity and dedication set him apart — every job is handled thoroughly, promptly, and with complete transparency. Maverick Process Services and Investigations has earned my trust, and I’m proud to not only call Brian a colleague, but also a friend. If you need dependable process servers in Baltimore or anywhere in Maryland, Maverick Process Serving is the clear choice.

Brian at Maverick investigations called upon us to do a service in New York. He was very personable and a pleasure to work with we at JR recovery process would highly recommend their services. Thanks again Brian for the work we appreciate you Jamie.

Talha is an outstanding private investigator. He was able to locate the person I had been searching for in less than 24 hours after I had spent several months trying to find them on my own. Throughout the process, he was professional, responsive, and efficient. I was truly impressed by his expertise and results. If you’re looking for a private investigator who gets the job done, I highly recommend Talha.

We hired Talha to help us with a very sensitive matter. I cannot say enough good things about the service we received!!! We live in Stafford and he came to meet with us in person within an hour of our first call! He was very attentive and honest about what can and cannot be done. He texted me nearly every day with updates and checking in. He came to our residence to finalize the investigation and spent over two hours of his time! This team will go above and beyond for you!!! Don’t shop around, this is your team. No others compare!!!

Had the pleasure of speaking with Talha who was kind, empathetic, and informative. He gave me a brief overview of their capabilities and detailed advice on how to proceed with my unique case and situation. Thank you for your help and understanding!

I never imagined needing a private investigator. I found one in Fairfax VA who truly knows what they're doing. TM Investigations Inc and I spent about 6 weeks working together, and throughout the entire process he was patient, professional, and extremely thorough. Talha took the time to understand my concerns and consistently delivered results. His professionalism and persistence were unmatched. He also gave a confidence boost I didn't know I needed, ensuring me that I wasn't going crazy. (If you're hiring a PI, you know what I mean). If you're on the fence, don't hesitate–I'd absolutely recommend their team to anyone needing someone they can trust.

TM Investigations is top notch. I had a circumstance in which I needed assistance and they were extremely sympathetic and provided the best customer service I have ever encountered. They were ready for my situation at a moments notice and were just as motivated as me to resolve it. They explain everything, answer all questions thoroughly, and follow the law to a T to ensure you have a strong case. Hiring this team is money well spent and you should look no further.

I can’t say enough great things about Joseph Bonacci as an instructor. He is an outstanding teacher who truly cares about each and every one of his students. He is patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. No question ever feels like a dumb question in his class because he takes the time to explain everything clearly. Joseph creates a welcoming and positive learning environment that makes you feel comfortable and confident. His real-life experience, encouragement, and dedication to helping his students succeed made a huge difference in my learning. I walked away from his class feeling prepared, motivated, and excited to begin my career in security. If you’re thinking about taking his class, I highly recommend it. Thank you, Joseph, for being such an amazing instructor and for going above and beyond for your students!

Loved the course to get my VA armed guard license. The learn instructor Joseph Bonacci do a great job of working with my schedule an making sure I was properly prepared to pass the course. The other instructor Ray was very good also and I enjoyed him sharing his experience in the service and how it related to his armed guard career. Highly recommended his academy and I’m will be taking my DC SPO and concealed carry though his school

Same type of training course I needed for Virginia DCJS but this time a different place. Instructor was very firm and straight to the point. Many of the class course material I’ve received was very helpful and refresher tips for the field I’m working in. Seen some negative reviews stating that he’s either rude or too aggressive which I doubt he is. However from what I experienced that’s not the case because his teaching style wasn’t offensive. Definitely recommend this institute because there’s so many other types of training courses there.

Great instructor. Very professional and detailed when explaining material. Joseph Bonacci did a very great job

Mr. Bonacci is an awesome instructor who makes the class enjoyable while learning. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I travel from Richmond, and it's all worth it.

My husband and I attended Saturday nights production of Dracula. The theater was very clean and attendants were so very kind even when we were about 10 minutes late due to traffic miss estimates. The cast didn't hold it against us for getting us snuck in. On top of it the cast put on a killer show!! Thanks for the invite Nathan M. we loved it and loved seeing you on the stage.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a private murder mystery dinner by Stagecoach Theater for our company retreat last week, and it was an incredible experience! The cast was beyond engaging and professional, keeping us all on the edge of our seats with laughter and suspense. A few of our coworkers even got to join in on the fun and take on roles in the mystery, revealing some hidden talents and adding a fantastic twist to the night! Everyone had a blast, and it was a truly memorable evening that brought our team closer together. Highly recommend this for a unique and entertaining experience!

My family and I, including a 5 year old, saw Mischief & Magic featuring Ken Jones (the professor) and Alec (the con man) on June 20th. To say the show was pure magic would be an understatement. They were incredible! I laughed, I teared up, I was uplifted and transported to a whimsical, nostalgic part of my childhood. The show is for adults however my child loved it. Ken and Alec made the experience so special and memorable. Thank you for an inspiring performance!

Had an absolutely wonderfully ~spooky~ night out at Stagecoach Theatre Company's production of "Dracula." FANTASTIC casting and chemistry among all the actors. It was a gripping show from start to finish. Flowers to the entire cast, as "Dracula" is a difficult production to nail and they absolutely killed it (no pun intended). Hats off to all.

It's always a pleasure to attend StageCoach Theater's shows, across the different genres and target audiences. My favorite have been The Woman in Black, M and 9 to 5 The Musical. It's incredible to see how much local talent there is.

I highly recommend Silver Star Investigations to anyone needing to serve a defendant in Northern Virginia. Michael was both efficient and communicative in effecting a difficult serve in less than a day after I had hired him. Absolutely stellar work.

Top-notch professionals. Super responsive – even during a holiday weekend. I was updated throughout the entire process. Phenomenal company. Stellar customer service. Highly recommend!

Such great professionalism, and expedient service. I searched around for a few options, and am so glad I used Silver Star Investigations. Highly recommend them!

Sent a service and it was served the same day for routine cost. I highly recommend!

Quality work and surpassed my expectations! Highly recommend 👌🏻
