Professional And Low Cost Los Angeles Process Servers For Your Needs

By Rosella Campbell


Poorly served legal documents may result in the receiver, or defendant, not being made legally aware of the process and as a consequence this may seriously hinder, or even stop, a court case from making a ruling. For this reason, it is essential that Los Angeles process servers carry out their assignments in only the correct and most effective way possible.

There is a select number of Los Angeles servers which not only offer reliable service, but are low cost as well. Always make sure that you are getting the specific service for your personal circumstance and that they are delivered professionally. Here is a list of important points that should be taken into consideration when choosing a service in your county.

1. Ensure that the process service is registered and bonded. This means that the company is certified and trained to deliver, or serve, legal documents to a person or defendant, and that this is done according to California's process serving laws. Further, the service needs to have filed a California Process Server Bond with the Los Angeles County Department.

2. The amount that the company charges for each service should be competitive without compromising reliability or professionalism. Check whether mileage fees, or per trip fees, are charged, as some companies do not include these. Be informed about other charges that may be included in the fine print, for things such as when payment is due, any late fees and associated interest rates that may be incurred, and any liabilities per order.

4. It's important that you select the right server for your individual circumstance. If, for example, you require that legal documents be delivered immediately, then you will need to ensure that you can get an emergency service so that the documents are served quickly and on time. If the address that is provided is not servable, then another address will need to be found or other alternative arrangements made. Be aware that these are special services that will incur extra fees.

4. Proof of service, or an affidavit, should always be provided following the completion of an assignment, which is mandatory for all process servers in the country. An affidavit comes with one or more notary signatures. Be aware that there is usually an additional charge for each signature.

5. You or your attorney will be directed to provide all the required information necessary for the server to be able to carry out your assignment with little to no problems. They will need to know things like what documents to serve, who to serve them to and when, and whether there are any special instructions such as witness fees. Providing the company with accurate information is very important and will help to ensure that the assignment is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Legal matters and court cases can often be quite difficult to handle on an emotional level, so the last thing you want is a court case that has become complicated or drawn out simply because of an inefficient process server, so hiring only trusted, reliable and professional servers will save you a lot of stress, and money, in the long run.
