Why Hire a Professional Process Server?
Discover the advantages of using a professional process server over sheriff service for your legal document delivery.
Benefits of Professional Process Serving
Faster Service
Sheriff's departments are often backlogged with criminal matters and other duties. Private process servers prioritize your documents and can typically complete service much faster.
Dedicated Attention
Your case gets personalized attention. We track service attempts, communicate progress, and work diligently to locate and serve defendants.
Flexible Hours
We serve documents during evenings, weekends, and holidays when defendants are most likely to be home—times when sheriff's offices typically don't operate.
Skip Tracing
When defendants move or hide, we have resources to locate them. Sheriff's departments typically return papers "unable to serve" without further effort.
Better Communication
Direct communication with your process server. Get real-time updates on service attempts and quick responses to your questions.
Specialized Expertise
Process serving is our primary focus. We understand the legal requirements and best practices for effective service of process.
