Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a process server?

Pricing depends on the location. Standard service with ABC Legal typically ranges from $75 to $145, with rush service available for an additional $65 fee. You’ll see exact, flat-rate pricing when you select your state, so there are no surprises.

Can I order process service online?

Absolutely. ABC Legal allows you to upload your documents, choose your service location, and pay online in just minutes. Once your order is placed, a local process server is dispatched, and you can track progress in real time.

What information do I need for service of process?

You’ll need the documents to be served, the recipient’s name, service address (or last known address), and any helpful details to assist the process server in locating them. Additional instructions, such as workplace details or best times to attempt service, can improve success rates.

How quickly will my documents be served?

Standard service is attempted within 3–5 business days of placing the order, while rush service is attempted within 1-2 business days. Service time depends on the recipient’s availability, attempts needed to serve and state-specific rules.

What happens if the recipient refuses the documents?

Refusal doesn’t stop service. If the person declines to physically take the papers, process servers may leave them in a legally acceptable manner, such as substitute service or posting, depending on local rules.

Do you serve documents outside of my state?

Yes. ABC Legal offers nationwide service of process, with vetted process servers in all 50 states. You can place an order online for any state and receive the same transparent pricing and tracking features.

How do I track my service order?

You can log in to your ABC Legal account to see real-time updates, including timestamps, GPS coordinates, and photos when applicable. This documentation is included in your proof of service for court compliance.

Is proof of service included?

Yes. Once service is complete, ABC Legal provides you with your proof of service (or affidavit of service) directly through your secure account. This confirms service was completed according to local rules.

Do you handle special or hard-to-serve cases?

Yes. Our network includes servers experienced in skip tracing, stakeouts, and alternative service methods approved by the court. Difficult service cases are handled with discretion and in full compliance with legal requirements.

How to choose a process server

When selecting a process server, look for experience, compliance with local and state laws, transparent pricing, and the ability to provide court-ready proof of service. Nationwide reach and real-time tracking are also valuable if your case spans multiple jurisdictions. ABC Legal offers all of these — plus a vetted network of thousands of process servers and technology that keeps you updated every step of the way.

What are the benefits of choosing ABC Legal?

ABC Legal combines nationwide coverage, industry-leading technology, and a dedicated support team to make service of process faster, easier, and more reliable. You get real-time updates, GPS-stamped service attempts, and court-compliant proof — all from a single trusted provider. Whether you need routine or rush service, ABC Legal ensures every serve is handled with professionalism and precision.

How does ABC Legal compare to my local server?

While a local process server may handle cases in one area, ABC Legal offers consistent, court-compliant service in every U.S. jurisdiction. Our nationwide network means you can work with one trusted partner for all your cases, rather than managing multiple providers. Our technology also gives you visibility into every serve, something many local servers can’t match.
