Firefly Legal can take care of your process serving and skip tracing so that you don’t have to face serving obstacles or fail to file a legal case.
North Dakota’s court system depends on the work that process servers complete in the earliest stages of legal proceedings. There aren’t a lot of process servers who are members of the National Association of Professional Process Servers (NAPPS), and there are very few requirements for becoming a process server in the state.
This means that it may be easy to find someone in North Dakota who says they will serve process for you, but it is challenging to find someone qualified and experienced!
Firefly Legal provides law firms and other entities access to the best process servers in the state of North Dakota. For lawsuits that involve parties in multiple states, you can take advantage of our nationwide network of process servers.
Whether you’re in one of North Dakota’s busy cities or a sparsely populated county like Billings or Slope, we can help you find a process server who will move your case forward with precision, timeliness, and accuracy.
The role of a process server is to facilitate the legal process by delivering legal documents to individuals and businesses according to state and federal rules. Reliable process servers guarantee that everyone involved in a legal matter is made aware of their obligations to the court. This is an essential part of due process.
The main reason why you must choose a qualified process server is that an underqualified, inexperienced server can cause serious damage to your legal proceedings.
Ineffective process servers may lead to:
There have even been extreme circumstances when the sloppy work of an unprepared process server has jeopardized a plaintiff’s entire case!
Compare these risks with the benefits of working with an experienced and knowledgeable process server like the ones you will find through Firefly Legal. You can trust that our process servers are always:
You’ll find our process servers doing their important work wherever and however it is legal to do so. This includes serving at private residences, workplaces, public spaces, jails, prisons, and more. No matter where they are performing service of process, they will be professional, precise, and excellent.
We only work with process servers who are prepared and equipped to perform skip-tracing for hard-to-find defendants. Thanks to our proprietary Firefly Legal app, you will be able to receive to-the-minute live updates with information about the server’s work on your case.
Because each state sets its own rules for process servers, you will find a lot of variation from one state to the next. Some states require rigorous training and registration with the state, but others only require the individual to be 18+ years old and unrelated to the case.
North Dakota fits into the second category.
Even though it is easy to call yourself a process server in North Dakota, legal industry professionals must choose their servers carefully to avoid costly errors. Process servers must be knowledgeable of the rules that govern their work.
Here are some of the rules that North Dakota process servers must follow, including who can serve process in the state:
These requirements are drawn directly from the North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4. Process servers should always verify current requirements as rules may change.
Firefly Legal provides legal services organizations with professional, knowledgeable process servers throughout the state.
Here’s what to expect when you work with a Firefly Legal-affiliated server:
Professional Excellence in Service of Process
Clear Communication and Documentation
Efficient Service of Process Management
Strong Integration of Technology
Knowledge of Special Service Requirements
When you work with Firefly Legal, you will be paired with process servers who understand the complex rules that govern North Dakota’s service of process. Because we work with process servers nationwide, we can also guarantee that your server will competently serve in other states as required.
In addition to the basic overview we provided earlier in this post, here are some additional rules that govern North Dakota’s process servers:
Importantly, this is not a comprehensive list of North Dakota’s service of process rules. However, we hope it provides some insight into how complex process serving can be! That way, it is clear why it is so important to find someone who understands the rules and can abide by them completely.
