What to Look for in a Private Process Server

If you have any kind of legal case against an individual or business, you will need to serve them with certain legal papers throughout the process, including to start the process. You have a choice between using the sheriff or a private process server, but most people choose a private server. Here are some things to look for when choosing one.

Transparency

The process server should be completely transparent in their practices. They should make sure that you understand and agree with all of their methods for the services that you are paying them for. Your process server company should also be transparent about pricing, including when additional services and fees may become necessary.

Reputation

With the age of Google, there is no longer any reason not to look up companies before going to them for business. It is very easy to find reviews of different process service companies. You should also ask around your city to see if anyone has one that they recommend.

Professionalism

How the private process server talks to you at your first contact is a good indication of the level of customer service and professionalism that you can expect to receive. If the process server is not professional with you, there is little chance that they are professional out in the field serving papers. A lack of professionalism can often lead to complications in the service.

Experience and Training

While the actual private process server who will be serving your papers may be relatively new to the business, they should be supervised and trained by experienced professionals. Look at the number of years the company has been in business, as well as the years of experience for management.
