Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What does it mean to be served with legal papers?

    Whether you are serving divorce papers, a subpoena to have someone testify in a court case, or a summons for a lawsuit, serving someone with legal papers is a mandatory step in the process that informs an individual or party that they are involved in a court case. Serving legal papers informs the opposing party that you are filing a case against them for one reason or another and this also gives them time to prepare for their court appearance.

  • 2. What types of documents do you serve?

    We serve a wide range of legal documents, including divorce papers, child support papers, subpoenas, writs, affidavits, wills, restraining orders, court summons, and so much more. For a complete list of all of the legal paperwork we can take care of on your behalf, please contact us.

  • 3. Where do I send my documents to be served?

    You can personally deliver the documents to our office, mail them, fax them, or send them electronically.

  • 4. How long does it take to get papers served?

    The length of time it takes to serve papers depends on how easy it is to locate the recipient(s). We will do everything in our power to locate the recipient and serve your legal documents to them within a reasonable time frame and we will keep you updated throughout every step of the process. Our process servers will make at least three attempts to deliver legal documents. If we are unable to locate the recipient after three attempts, then we will reach out to you to come up with a new strategy and explain your options to you.

  • 5. Where can defendants be served?

    Generally speaking, a person can be served at their place of business, residence, or any other public setting as long as the process server is not trespassing, and no laws are broken.

  • 6. Can I serve the papers myself?

    No, someone over the age of 18 who is not connected to the case or a licensed process server must serve the papers on your behalf.
