Process Servers Take a Chance With Each Case

Process servers who do the same job that cost Stephen Allen his life say that although the incident was rare, they are taking a risk with every knock on the door.

"I'd say with 80 percent of the serves that are done, obviously the people aren't happy, but they accept it and aren't aggressive. Then you get 19 percent that aren't happy and give you (expletives)," said Steve Carlyle, owner of Front Range Legal Process Service LLC.

Steve Wennstedt, owner of Source Investigations LLC in Fort Collins, said he has dealt with a little push here and there, but nothing serious.
