What Is a Process Server and Why Do I Need One?

What Is a Process Server?

A process server is a certified professional who delivers legal documents to individuals involved in court proceedings. These documents may include summonses, subpoenas, complaints, writs, and other court papers that notify parties of legal actions. The role of a process server is essential to ensure that individuals are properly informed about their legal obligations and upcoming court appearances.

Process serving is governed by state laws that dictate how and when legal documents must be delivered. A licensed process server ensures compliance with these rules, helping avoid delays, dismissals, or invalid service claims.

Why Do I Need a Process Server?

1. Ensures Legal Compliance

   • Each jurisdiction has strict rules regarding how legal documents must be served. Professional process servers understand these laws and follow the correct procedures, ensuring your case is not compromised by improper service.

2. Provides Verified Proof of Service

   • After serving the documents, a process server provides a notarized affidavit or proof of service. This document is crucial in court to prove the defendant was legally notified.

3. Helps with Difficult or Evasive Defendants

   • If someone is avoiding service or hard to locate, experienced process servers use investigative tools and tactics like skip tracing and surveillance to find and serve them lawfully.

4. Saves Time and Reduces Stress

   • Legal proceedings can be stressful. Hiring a professional ensures that service of process is handled efficiently and correctly, allowing attorneys and clients to focus on the case itself.

5. Essential for Legal Cases Nationwide

   • Whether it’s a civil lawsuit, family law matter, or small claims case, process servers are crucial to upholding due process. In many states, improper service can delay or even dismiss a case.
