How to Choose a Columbus Process Server

In the vast sea of advertised process servers in Columbus, it’s tough to choose a reliable and effective partner without research and due diligence. The wrong process server could cost your firm precious time and money. How can you trust that you’ve found the right process servers for your legal cases?

Here are some steps you can take to help you make your selection:

  • Determine how long a process serving company has been in business:
    The proven-track record of a process server is a helpful way to narrow down your options. A legal services company with established exemplary service may be the wisest choice for your needs.
  • Research changes made in legislation:
    Ohio laws on acceptable process serving methods are subject to frequent changes. You can discover if a company has utilized these changes via an official website, as legislative changes will often be noted or highlighted.
  • Read online reviews and client testimonials:
    A long-standing legal services company may include client testimonials from established attorneys on their website. Google may also include process server reviews in search results. If the average review is negative, or you can’t locate any online reviews, you may want to avoid working with the company.
  • Look for companies with multiple office locations:
    If your case involves a named party who has moved from Columbus, or necessitates out-of-state process serving, a firm with multiple branches may be equipped to help you.

Competence is Vital for Process Servers

People who are aware of the processes they will be served may try to duck process servers and hope to run out the clock on a summons or subpoena. They may try to disrupt their normal routines to make it difficult for process servers to find them.

An excellent process server will quickly locate a named party in a civil case via innovative solutions such as online deep dives and skip tracing. They’ll provide real time status updates for attorneys in order to seamlessly begin the legal process.

Why Columbus Attorneys Need Process Servers

Time-sensitive documents are a priority on the legal path of a case. In Columbus, in-person process serving requires an unbiased third party, and must be designated by the court. A professional process server could be the key to beginning a successful case.

When lawyers develop a strong relationship with a process serving firm, they know they can rely on a skilled team to take care of their legal service needs.

Federal, state, and local laws all mandate that a defendant is given time to answer a summons or contest a lawsuit. Attorneys are required to inform any named party of the case they’re pursuing.

Notification for a legal defendant is a necessary and strategic step in building your case.
Firefly Legal provides Columbus attorneys with industry leadership and efficient civil service.

Where to find professional process server In Columbus, Ohio

The Important Role of the Process Server

The responsibilities of a Columbus process server exceed courier services. A process server must work with integrity and sensitivity, and correctly deliver documents to an intended recipient. They need to possess thorough knowledge of the federal and Ohio laws surrounding legal services.

For example, a process server without training or legal knowledge may accidentally hand documents to an intended recipient’s co-worker or family member, and nullify the service process.

In Columbus, an in-person process server must be over 18 and an unbiased third party designated by the courts. Firefly Legal ensures that our team of experienced process servers have undergone proper training, and remain knowledgeable about the latest technology tools and changes in process serving regulations.
