FAQ

A Simple Answer to "What Happens if a Process Server Can't Serve You?" The simple answer to your question is that the court continues without you. Evidence is brought forth without a rebuttal or defense from you and a judgment is issued.

Generally, a process server can come to your house as many times as they want. They will usually make three attempts, in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively, typically on different days of the week to maximize their chances of reaching you.

Service of process is the procedure by which a party to a lawsuit gives an appropriate notice of initial legal action to another party (such as a defendant), court, or administrative body in an effort to exercise jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court,

A legal process server delivers (serves) court documents to the defendant or individual listed on the legal document being served.Once a process server delivers the documents, an Affidavit of Service, also called a Proof of Service, is notarized and given to the party who requested the service.

No Limit on Service Attempts In theory, there is no restriction to the number of times a process server can attempt to serve a defendant or a witness. When a court issues a summons or a subpoena, a document commonly is known as a "Return of Service" is typically attached.

For standard serves, the typical time to serve papers is 5-7 days. Turn-around-time (or TAT) can vary from process server to process server. However, this is something that can be determined in most cases by you, which usually leads to a higher cost.

Definition. Agreement by the defendant (or the defendant's attorney) to accept papers or a complaint without having the papers served by a process server or a sheriff. Acceptance of service is accomplished by signing a "receipt and acknowledgment of acceptance of service" (or similarly titled instrument).

There are a number of methods of service of process, the most common of which are personal service and mail service.

Generally, process servers make at least three attempts to serve somebody. These attempts are normally made at different times of day and on different days to maximize our chance of serving the papers.
