Official Notice

If you’re trying to recover money owed and want to provide a final, official demand letter or dunning letter, a process server, while not necessarily required, can provide you with a professional agent for the delivery of important documents. (Process servers are not necessarily required for the delivery of a demand letter, please confirm with the court or consult a legal professional)

Notifying Parties of a Legal Action

Notifying Parties of a Legal Action

If you are suing another party in small claims or civil court, you’ll need to file the appropriate paperwork. After filing, the other parties in the lawsuit must be notified. That’s where ABC Legal can help.

ABC Legal rocks! Served all eight defendants in multiple upstate New York cities with prompt, electronic proofs including one by a NY sheriff's office necessary for one of the defendants. This company is the wave of the future.

Quote Icon Testimonial I've now sent three service orders to ABC, and all were timely completed. The affidavits came right back so that I could file them with the court. On top of everything else, their prices are better than outfits I've used that couldn't get the job done.

Whenever you hire someone to do a service for you, you always hope that they do a good job, especially when it involves legal and court documents. At first, I did not think ABC Legal Services was going to be able to deliver the services I needed because the service needed to be outside working business days/hours. Well, they proved me wrong! They did an amazing job in serving an almost impossible party. Also, Vincent continuously communicating with me about the status of the order, which was very appreciated. Thank you Vincent and Duane for going the extra mile and get the job done!! Great job!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the timeline for service of process, from start to finish?

  1.  Uploaded documents are confirmed as ready and are dispatched to the nearest process server.
  2. If you have standard delivery, expect the first attempt within 3-5 business days and 1-2 business days for Rush.
  3. Additional attempts are made such that they meet local court diligence requirements. The process server continues to make attempts, recording data about each attempt as they go.
  4. Once they are able to make the delivery legally, service is considered complete.
  5. Proof of service is signed by the process server and is available in your account. Where required by the court, it will be mailed to you.
    1. If the process server is unable to make the delivery in the number of attempts outlined by courts for due diligence, a return of non-service will be prepared, so that you can seek other options for service as available.
Once you have proof of service for the delivery of your legal documents, it is important that you submit it to the court in accordance with local requirements. Be sure to confirm what the court you initially filed with requires.

What do I need to do to order service of process for my small claims case?

All you need are the documents you need delivered in a digital format, the name of the person you hope to serve, and the address you'd like us to go to. If there's anything special you want us to know or do for delivery, you can add additional notes for the process server, such as particular day to try or a description of the party to be served, during the place order process.

As unbiased delivery agents, they are eligible to deliver documents for all kinds of civil court cases, except where there are special laws or rules.  There are certain situations where process servers may not serve; in certain states, for example, third parties are not allowed in certain areas unsupervised.
