Service of Process is the common term for the legal document by which a lawsuit is started and the court asserts its jurisdiction over the parties and the controversy. The role of a process server is to provide notice that all parties involved. A summons and complaint, contains the plaintiff's allegations of wrongdoing by the defendant and the legal remedy sought by the plaintiff. The summons also informs the defendant that he has a specified number of days under law to respond to the summons and complaint. Process must be properly served on all parties in an action. Anyone who is not served is not bound by the decision in the case.

• Expertise

Process servers need to understand local and federal laws to ensure that the service of legal documents is done properly.

 

• Reliability

Court filings follow a strict timeline, and process servers are well aware of these stipulations when you hire them. As professionals, they make sure that notifications happen when they need to and often sooner than required, helping to relieve some of the stress that comes along with lawsuits.

 

• Neutral Party

You can't hand deliver papers to the person you're filing a lawsuit against in many states. However, as long as they are at least 18 years old, most municipalities will allow you to use friends and family. However, using personal relationships can strain the connection. As a result, process servers are utilized by the majority due to their neutrality.

 

• Investigative Knowledge

Sometimes, the person who needs to be served cannot be located or tries to avoid service. They can make it difficult to serve papers by hiding and avoiding contact with friends and relatives.
