A colleague recommended Marlin's Special Investigations to help me track down a defendant who was avoiding service. Time was running short on my service deadline. Jeff was able to locate and get defendant served right away. He was easy to work with and most importantly got the job done. I highly recommend Marlin's Special Investigations.

I am beyond impressed with Jeff Marlin! He doesn’t play around! I reached out to him earlier in the day, needing his process service. We had a quick phone conversation as to what I needed and the deadline we had to meet for the summons to be served. Three hours later, Jeff calls me back and tells me the person has been served! With my jaw dropped, I thanked him for his great work with completing the service. Even in the midst of that part of Iowa recovering from a disastrous storm, he got the job done without a hitch! Best part of this experience was him telling me moment by moment how the person was served. I felt like I was there with him! Thank you again, Jeff! If anyone is looking for a process server, Jeff is your man! He will not disappoint!

I have utilized the services of Marlin’s Special Investigations since 1998 (23 years). My brother was murdered in Linn County, Iowa in 1998. After speaking with the law enforcement agency investigating his case, we met with our family attorney Jim Bradley, of Bradley and Riley. Our attorney told us that Marlin’s Special Investigations was the best to help us find the truth and he was correct. Still in shock, we did not know where to turn, nor who to trust. Jim knew that my brother and our family deserved justice, the investigative eyes of an independent professional with world class experience who would leave no stone unturned and also understood the law and had the ability to confidently navigate us through the process. Additionally, and most importantly, they were our advocate for my brother’s voice who could no longer speak for himself. I’ve retained Jeff’s services for a multitude of jobs for myself and others which includes, but are not limited to, back-ground checks, surveillance, and security. What differentiates Jeff from other investigators is that he has professional experience in law enforcement, he is an excellent listener and takes the time to understand the goals his clients wish to accomplish by retaining his services. He is willing to go the extra mile to find solutions to difficult problems and thinks outside of the box to locate the answers. There are times when information delivered may not be what a client wants to hear. If truth is what you seek, I highly recommend Jeff Marlin and guarantee that he is thorough, honest, and will never mislead a client. He delivers information, solutions, and results with integrity and professionalism.

Jeff and his team are excellent at what they do. I've hired Jeff many times, and each time, he does what it takes to get the information I need to make my case. As an environmental attorney, I feel like I can rely on Jeff to help build my case and testify credible when needed. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!

He is highly intelligent and has your best interest and protection in mind. Jeff is quick to offer solutions and tips and is well connected to help you accomplish your end goal.

I am a local attorney who practices a lot in general litigation and landlord-side representation. As part of my business, I sometimes need papers served on short notice. Jeff has done a fantastic job being responsive, professional, and quick to turn things around for me when I send a rush request. I couldn't recommend his services more highly and I know the service part is only one aspect of his business. He is definitely a go-to for me and my firm.
