Yes, in most cases, we can deliver a summons and complaint. Process servers deliver legal documents alerting people to legal actions taken in or resulting from judgments in civil courts.

As unbiased delivery agents, they are eligible to deliver documents from all kinds of 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 posted areas unsupervised. 

ABC Legal provides prompt, professional, and compliant service of process for every customer - and optimizes for debt collection.

A process server will make multiple attempts at the address provided and will record GPS and photo data to validate service at every step. You get the details instantly in your account as progress is made. It's like going along for the ride.

As a law firm, you'll have access to the next best address found in our auto trace results for free when we hit a bad address. You can choose to have us deliver there next! 

We have designed a number of processes specifically for the collections process and the unique requirements for collections in particularly tricky states. We have free venue selection tools that can help you validate the court based on the service address and options to automatically get your case out to the next best address if one is available with Deep Skip.

Whether you need a summons and complaint served for a collections case or for any other civil lawsuit, we have you covered.
