Many attorneys have an established relationship with one specific process server or one company with several different process servers. Attorneys know that you should use a private process server instead of the sheriff, even though service by the sheriff is pushed by the circuit courts. Here’s more about why lawyers work with private process servers.
Service of Process Is Required
Attorneys often handle more than one case at a time, and they handle many cases in the course of a year. Any civil matter that is filed with the courts requires service of process. If an attorney specializes in civil cases or handles them frequently, it makes sense to have an established account with a private process server.
Other Service of Process
There are many other legal documents that may need to be delivered. Not everything that needs to be delivered to rival parties in a case has to be served by a process server. Not all of them are court documents. There are several parts to a case, such as discovery and witnesses. Subpoenas for information, documents, or witnesses must be served by a process server.
Other Legal Documents
There are also times when lawyers must send documents between each other and the parties in the case. If someone files discovery and requests information or documents, the attorney must provide those things within a timely manner. Having them delivered by a private process server ensures that you have a verifiable paper trail that those legal documents were delivered as required.
