Process Server in New Jersey
Where to find an excellent process server in New Jersey

Firefly Legal process servers in New Jersey

Although neighboring states like New York require licensing for process servers, New Jersey allows anyone over the age of 18 who is also an unbiased third party to deliver legal documents. That’s why it’s important to partner with an industry leader that offers thoroughly trained professionals who work with integrity and excellence.

Firefly Legal offers private process service with a strong commitment to legal compliance and extensive knowledge of New Jersey rules of civil procedure. Laws and regulations surrounding the service of process are subject to change at any time, which is why we utilize current industry trends and innovative technology to adapt to anticipated legal changes.

We don’t cut corners, and are dedicated to exceeding your expectations with exceptional services. Our success depends on your success, and we understand that every case may come with its own unique challenges and needs. A Firefly process server in New Jersey will work closely with you to ensure your needs are met, and that your documents reach all intended recipients in a timely manner.  

How to find an excellent process server in New Jersey

If you’re an attorney with an immediate need for a process server in New Jersey, it may be tempting to choose the first professional you find. However, it’s important to research and verify the qualifications of anyone you might hire — even on a short, contractual basis.

If a private process server cuts ethical and legal corners, or isn’t thoroughly versed in New Jersey laws and regulations, the consequences could present legal challenges for you, and could waste your money and time.

An excellent process server should possess the following:

  • Attention to detail
  • Compliance to and understanding of all laws and regulations
  • Confidentiality in service
  • Persistence (multiple attempts to serve an individual are often necessary)
  • Positive client testimonials
  • Proven adaptability
  • Proven track record of success
  • Research and preparation to ensure efficient service
  • Transparency and integrity 
  • Utilization of innovative methods and technology

Time-sensitive court filings are an integral part of any case, but can consume an attorney’s limited time. Firefly understands that you should be able to focus on building your case without the distractions of small tasks. You shouldn’t have to worry about filing deadlines. We’ll take care of your court filings in person or electronically within the mandated time limitations.

  • Discretion and sensitivity:

If your case requires confidentiality and discretion, a Firefly private process server will closely follow your instructions to serve the intended recipient. Any case may cause stress and heightened emotions, and we’ll ensure every aspect is handled with sensitivity.  

  • Document retrieval:

Most cases involve a significant amount of legal document retrieval, and can add a tremendous amount of paperwork to your workload. Firefly Legal will take care of all of your document retrieval needs so that you can focus on building your case.

  • Innovative and proprietary software and technology:

Innovative technology improves the efficiency of Firefly process servers. We utilize barcodes and electronic data interface (EDS) and our proprietary software, the Firefly Legal Case Management System (which allows us to streamline workflows and waterfall processes to accurately track every case in detail) to allow you easy access to your case details and real-time status updates.  

  • Integrity:

A Firefly process server in New Jersey will never cut legal corners or withhold information from you. Every attempt to serve a recipient will be documented in detail, and we’ll consistently keep you updated about our progress in your case.

  • Legal compliance:           

A Firefly process server in New Jersey will ensure that every aspect of every service of process is within legal compliance of the state’s regulations. We pay attention to every detail to ensure that you’re protected from legal risk and your case isn’t jeopardized by ineffective service.

  • Service audits:

We routinely audit our services to align with our commitment to excellence. This helps us to course correct when necessary, and refine our services to ensure we consistently exceed industry standards. Integrity is paramount in every detail of the services we provide, and we quickly adapt to changes in New Jersey regulations.

  • Skip tracing:

In New Jersey, service of process may also require skip tracing services in order to locate intended recipients. For example, a named defendant in your case may attempt to avoid being served, change jobs, or move to a new location.

Firefly Legal skip tracing services may include thorough searches of private and public databases, tracking via social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram,  and deep research of professional and personal histories.
