Process Servers

Process servers are employed to give legal notice to a person such as a defendant of a court or administrative body's exercise of its jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body or other tribunal. Usually, a process server furnishes notice to the defendant by delivering a set of court documents to the person to be served. Process servers are employed to deliver court documents such as subpeonas, summons or complaints. Process servers typically fall into one of four categories: registered or licensed process servers; private investigators or detectives; sheriffs, marshals, constables, and other sworn peace officers; nonregistered or nonlicensed individuals such as friends, relatives, and others. Depending on the state law, process servers are subject to different restrictions and practices. Online you'll find a multitude of process servers and associated resources to help you serve summons and complaints and subpoenas nationwide. You can even order process servers online.
