Process Serving

What Is Process Serving, and Why Does It Matter?

A clear look at the role proper service plays in keeping a case moving.

Process serving is the formal delivery of legal documents to a party involved in a court proceeding. The documents can include summons and complaints, subpoenas, divorce papers, eviction notices, and restraining orders.

Proper service matters because the court needs a clear record that notice was delivered according to the rules that apply. A missed detail can delay the next step in a case.

A professional process server documents attempts, works carefully through difficult locations or schedules, and prepares the service record your office needs. For an urgent or complex assignment, share the documents and deadline at the start.
