The Benefits of Using a Local Process Server

There are many options when choosing a process server to serve your legal documents.  In this post, we will explore the many benefits of choosing a local process server to complete the job.  

1. Familiarity with Local Courts

Local process servers often have an already established relationship with their local courts, law firms, and other legal establishments in the area.  This may include standing orders of appointment as a special process server.  

1. Efficiency

A local process server will be closer to the destination for service. This eliminates extra time for travel, mileage and other related challenges associated with driving out of town to complete a serve, and sets the stage for expedient and efficient service. 

1. Enhanced Customer Service 

Choosing a local process server means establishing a business relationship with greater flexibility and options.  Many local process servers will pick up the service packets or documents for service directly from the court clerks or law office requesting service.  Some local process servers will even  offer efiling options for the Return of Service, or simply email them to the entity requesting service.  

1. Communication

A local process server often comes with a personal touch due to the obvious working proximity.  Meaning enhanced communication regarding the job requirements, status updates, or other pertinent information germane to the case.

Often the local process server is also a local resident.  Sometimes a working knowledge of an area’s routines can be helpful when completing a challenging serve.  Think school bus stops and routes, mail delivery and city refuse removal/pickup, and other local 

1. Cost Savings

Most local servers will work within a predetermined area for a flat fee. With a working knowledge of the locale, additional expenses normally associated with  longer travel distances for process service can be avoided altogether.
