Law firms in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and everywhere between them know the importance of working with an established process server. They know that what some think is an insignificant yet necessary part of the legal process shouldn’t be handed over to just anybody. Since Massachusetts doesn’t require any special licensing requirements to serve legal documents, there are far too many servers that shouldn’t be performing this service.

Failing to vet a process server or picking one at random is a big mistake. An inexperienced server could delay your case, costing you time and ruining your reputation.

With nearly thirty years of experience in the process server industry, Firefly Legal has become a trusted leader. With over three million successful serves, why would you choose any firm other than Firefly Legal?

Firefly Legal process servers in Massachusetts have the expertise and knowledge to support your legal needs.
