Order FAQ

• How much does service of process cost?
  Price depends on geography. Standard service of process typically ranges from $75 to $145. Remote locations tend to be more expensive. Cities and urban areas can be less. ABC Legal charges per address, entity, and the number of cases being served.
• I am serving two defendants at the same address. What does that cost?
  We charge per defendant, per address, and per case. So, each party will be priced the same.
• How do I know if you serve in a particular area?
  We serve documents across the United States. To find pricing for your area, simply go to  https://secure.abclegal.com/abc/customer/order
• I need to serve someone, but don’t know their address. Can you find them for me?
  Locating an individual, by law, requires “permissible purpose”. Therefore, we can only perform a skip trace for law firms or those who have retained a licensed attorney.  Explore our skip trace options here.
• How do I create an account with you?
  An account is created when you place your first order on our website. If you are looking to place 100+ orders per month, you may prefer a billable account. Talk with a service of process expert to learn more.
• I need someone served on a military base or in a prison/jail. Do you do that?
  This depends on the base or jail/prison. Some allow process servers in, others do not. Some have specific requirements such as making an appointment with a base escort. Please check with the military base/jail directly to confirm.
