Process Serving

Getting court documents physically delivered to the defendant is a critical step in all legal proceedings. Failing to do so can get your case delayed, and even thrown out of court. As a professional legal process server in New York City, Elite Legal Services of NY, Inc can take care of all your legal processing needs. Whether you’re looking for a rush process service or same-day process serving, we’re here to take care of all your needs in an efficient and reliable way.

The Role of Process Servers

The main role of a process server is to deliver legal documentation such as court orders to the defendant as part of legal proceedings. When somebody wants to bring legal action against another party, they are responsible for informing them about the impending action. According to the law, it’s not enough to notify them via email or call; correct paperwork needs to be served in a proper, verifiable manner.

As a result, serving someone with legal paperwork isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Sometimes, it’s hard to reach the person you’re serving papers to, and in other cases, the person might not acknowledge receiving them in an attempt to avoid subsequent legal proceedings. Professional process servers often have to act with stealth and persistence to ensure that the defendant is served correctly to avoid any related issues later in court.

Who Can Serve Papers?

Legal papers cannot be served by the plaintiff or anyone related to the case. Here are some options to keep in mind:

  • You can either mail the paperwork via certified mail. However, it’s difficult to receive acknowledgment even if the papers do reach the defendant. They can avoid giving acknowledgment as a way to avoid legal proceedings.
  • You can send the legal paperwork via a local police officer or sheriff. While this may get you the acknowledgment, it comes with a fee and won’t be a priority for the law enforcement officials.
  • You can hire professional process servers skilled at serving legal documentation in a timely and efficient manner. They will ask about the needs and requirements of the case and make your process serving needs a priority.
