Please read an explanation of our services below and let us know what we can do for you!

We offer the following services:

We offer two types of service: REGULAR and RUSH. We serve the Tri-County area, which includes Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties. All civil process in the tri-county area is served within three to five business days from the date we receive it. This is the standard or regular service window which allows us to pick up your paperwork, complete courthouse services, if applicable, process it through our system and effect service during the regular course of business.
 
Effecting service may actually take longer than three to five business days due to unforeseen events, such as the recipient being unavailable or avoiding, not being in at the time the process server is there, or simply not answering the door for the process server.
 
If we encounter excessive delays or the due date is approaching and we have not yet effected service, we will communicate proactively with your office to ensure there are not "surprises"; and, we will continue our efforts until service is effected.
 
We will also provide, as part of our basic service fee, initial research through our databases to locate the person being served when we discover that they have moved, are out of business or the address on the document is not longer valid for any reason.

Here are some other options:

Out of Town Service - Routine
 
For service outside of the tri-county are, regular service is attempted within 5-12 days from the date we pick up the paperwork from your office. In some cases, service is effected much sooner depending on the location, but is not guaranteed. The additional time is necessary to get the subpoena/summons processed and to the out of town server.
 
Rush Service - Local
 
Rush service is attempted within 24 hours from the time we pick up your paperwork for personal service and by the end of the next business day for corporate service. In many instances, we attempt service the very same day. Request for service that must be completed within 72 hours, or on a specific date and time, are considered Rush services.
 
Out of Town Service - Rush
 
For Rush service anywhere outside of the tri-county area, we send the paperwork to process service via overnight courier on the same day that we receive it, usually be Federal Express Rush. The process server attempts service the same day they receive it. In some areas of the state and country, Rush service may take longer than 24 hours due to variations in Federal Express delivery times, local laws, and rural areas.
 
Special Request
 
Please call our office for prices on emergency service (any service which is outside of the above stated descriptions). Most likely, we can determine your requests, however, it may require special services for which fees will be determined at the time of your request.
