What to Look for in a Process Server

If you have a lawsuit, divorce, eviction, or other court proceeding that requires process service, it is important that you choose the right person for the job. There are a lot of options out there for process servers, but you should do your homework and make sure you are choosing the best one for your situation. Consider these points when you are looking for a private process server.

Persistence

A good process server will be persistent in getting your papers served. Sometimes process service is quick and easy, but often, it takes diligence to get the job done. If the party to be served is only found at certain times of the day, or if you are unsure where to find them, some process servers will give up quickly. A good process server will be willing to do the legwork to locate the individual and do what it takes to get them served.

One way that you can measure the persistence of a process server is to learn their success rate. While not every situation can result in accurate service, the success rate should be fairly high. Ask these questions of anyone you are considering before choosing a process server.

Training

Some process servers get approved by the courts who have not had a lot of training in the process. It is important that your process server has had extensive training and the knowledge necessary for accurate service. Process servers should be trained in the laws and regulations guiding how papers are served. They should also be trained in how to locate individuals who are hard to find to serve them, as well as how to handle sticky situations that can arise when someone doesn’t want to be served.
