**********************************************************************************************************

First time hiring a Process Server? This is what you can expect from us.

Service fees are per address/Individual being served. We guarantee up to four attempts at service and a notarized proof(s) of service.  

You can email, mail or hand deliver your documents to our office.   Or you can pay to have us pick them up, $15+ (depending on location).  If you email, the first 20 printed pages are free then only $0.20 per page thereafter.  

Email your documents to our office and them immediately make a payment via our website’s “Make a Payment” tab.
If you mail documents to our office, you should mail payment with your documents.
If you hand deliver your documents, you should bring exact cash, or CC to pay at the time of drop off.

Fill out our information form which you’ll find on the “Process Server Services” page.
The more information you provide, the better the odds are the Process Server can get your subject served.   People tend to lie to us so if you don’t provide any information we will not know if the person we talk with is lying.   So please make sure to utilize the helpful information form.  Once we receive your documents, payment and a helpful information form,  we will enter them in our system and get them out with a process server.

Most routine services are usually done within a week (1 to 7 days).  

Most rush/priority services are usually completed in 1-3 days.   

We also have an immediate rush service for clients that would like immediate attention.  You get more attempts in a shorter time frame when you make your job a rush/priority or immediate rush.

Our Process Server will make 3 to 4 attempts to serve the subject at the address you provided; this can take up to a week to two weeks.  Most of the time the Process Server will get the person served.  Upon completion of service, the process server will send the results to our office the same day or following day.  Our office will then prepare a proof of service and the process server will sign the proof.  After the proof is signed by the process server, our office staff will either email, mail or e-file the proof of service, depending on what the client requested on the helpful information form.

What if we do not call you?    

If you do not hear from our office for a week or so, that is a good sign.  It usually means we are doing what you pay us to do and we have not had any issues or problems to report.

If you requested a routine service, please do not call or email our office every few days asking if your documents have been served.  If you would like your job to be a priority then request a rush and you will be contacted during business hours as soon as your job is done.  Or request an immediate rush and the server will contact you immediately after the subject has just been served.

How we notify our Clients:   

We will call you with confirmation that your serve was successful and a time for you to pick up your Proof Of Service unless you request us to e-file your proof of service, then we will only send you a receipt of filing.  IF we do not hear back from you the proof of service will be sent to you via us mail – as that is our default.

Guarantee:   We guarantee excellent service by the best highly trained professionals.   We can not make people open the door.  Please know we can not control the outcome of your case.   You are paying for time spent regardless of the results of your case.

Things we think you should NOT do:  

Do not tell the subject you are going to have them served.  Do not have your friend attempt to serve them.   Do not attempt to serve the person by certified mail.  All you will do is give them a heads up to avoid.  Then it will cost you a lot more to get a subject served when they are aware and evading service.   The element of surprise is our best bet.  That is why you want a professional.

We are not attorneys and we do not give legal advice.
