Why You Need a Professional Process Server

Published February 15, 2020 | By Accurate Serve Ocala

If you have an upcoming civil court case, you probably need document service of process. Service of process is an important part of your case, and it is required for your case to move forward in the courts. Here’s why you need a professional process server for this task.

Florida Law

According to Florida law, only the sheriff, his or her deputies, or registered private process servers can serve papers. This means that if you are not going to use the sheriff’s department to serve papers to the other party in your case, you have to use a registered professional process server.

Timely Service of Process

Although you can use the sheriff’s department to get your papers served, you will get much faster results with a professional process server. A sheriff’s department has a lot of responsibilities, and serving papers is down toward the bottom of the list. Private process servers only serve papers, which means that they can dedicate their time to getting papers served quickly.

Finding Missing Persons

Sometimes it is difficult to locate the other party in a case to get papers served. The sheriff’s department doesn’t have the resources available to track down people for this purpose. However, a private process server has many tools at their disposal to find missing persons and get them served, still in a timely manner.

If you have a looming court case and need papers served quickly for your case to move forward, contact us today for more information or to get started.
