Hiring a Legal Process Server is the first step to moving your case in the right direction. Without service of process, the case is not able to advance to the next stage. Normally, the attorney filing the case on your behalf will hire the process serving company. Process servers have the skills and experience to serve your legal documents in a timely manner and in Florida, we are either Certified by the Chief Judge or appointed by the Sheriff of that county. Process Servers are savvy with the rules and regulations governing process serving – in Florida its Chapter 48.

There are several key requirements associated with the rules of service of process. For example, when serving an individual at his place of employment we will need to serve him or her personally. Also, there are rules regulating the hours for service on a Registered Agent in Florida. In addition, in Florida, we are not allowed to serve anyone on Sunday unless the Court has entered an Order allowing this service.
If a service is not done in accordance with the proper rules– this can hinder your case from going forward or result in the dismissal of your case. Improper service may also cause undue delays which may affect court fees and attorney’s fees.
