Process Serving FAQs

A process server is a professional responsible for delivering legal documents, such as subpoenas, summonses, and complaints, to individuals involved in a legal proceeding. Their role ensures that due process is upheld by notifying parties of their involvement in legal actions.

Process servers deliver a variety of legal documents, including but not limited to summonses, subpoenas, complaints, writs, and court orders. They may also handle eviction notices, divorce papers, and other legal notifications.
