What is a process server?

A process server is an individual or company responsible for delivering legal documents, such as subpoenas, summons, complaints, and court orders, to individuals involved in a legal case.

Why do I need a process server?

Process servers ensure that legal documents are delivered in accordance with the law, guaranteeing that all parties involved in a legal proceeding are properly notified and have the opportunity to respond.

What kind of papers does a process server serve

A process server serves a variety of legal documents depending on the nature of the legal proceeding. Some common types of papers served include:

  1. Summons and Complaints: These documents initiate a civil lawsuit and notify the defendant that legal action has been taken against them.

  2. Subpoenas: Subpoenas compel individuals to appear in court to testify as witnesses or to provide documents or other evidence.

  3. Writs and Orders: Writs and orders are court-issued documents that command a specific action, such as a writ of execution to enforce a judgment or an order to show cause requiring a party to appear in court and explain why a certain action should not be taken.

  4. Divorce Papers: Process servers may serve divorce papers, including petitions, summons, and other documents related to the dissolution of marriage.

  5. Eviction Notices: Process servers may deliver eviction notices to tenants who are being evicted from a property for non-payment of rent or other lease violations.

  6. Child Custody and Support Papers: These documents inform individuals of court hearings or decisions related to child custody, visitation rights, and child support obligations.

  7. Restraining Orders and Protective Orders: Process servers may serve restraining orders or protective orders issued by the court to protect individuals from harassment, abuse, or violence.

  8. Notices of Foreclosure: Process servers may serve notices of foreclosure to homeowners who are in default on their mortgage payments, informing them of the impending foreclosure proceedings.

What happens if you don't answer the door to a process server

If you don't answer the door to a process server, they may attempt alternative methods of serving the legal documents, such as leaving them with a responsible adult at your residence or mailing them to you.

How much does it cost to hire a process server?

The cost of hiring a process server can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the location of the individual to be served, and any additional services required, such as rush service or multiple attempts at service. It's best to obtain quotes from several process servers and compare their rates and services before making a decision.

While in some cases, individuals may be permitted to serve legal documents themselves, using a professional process server is often recommended. Professional process servers are familiar with the legal requirements and procedures for serving documents, reducing the risk of errors or challenges to the service.
