Why Choose a Process Server?

 

Process Servers are hired to deliver, or 'serve' legal documents on parties to legal proceedings.

​

There are rules that must be followed when serving legal documents to ensure that service on the intended individual is considered valid in the eyes of the law. The manner in which a person is served depends on things like:

• type of document to be served

• level of court/governing legislation for court

• and more....

 

If a legal document is not served correctly or the subsequent document (Affidavit of Service) is not completed as set out in the rules, it can lead to potential prejudice, including, but not limited to, additional costs to re-serve documents, time delay which exceeds the deadline for service, time delay which results in parties depleting assets, inability to obtain judgment, and more.

​

Hiring a Process Server is meant to ensure the rules are being followed, the documents are being completed properly, and the legal process can advance to the next intended stage.
