Process Server in West Virginia

Attorneys in West Virginia understand that the right process server is vital to the seamless process of their cases. In a state with many mountainous and rural areas, efficient legal document delivery can prove difficult for a private process server who doesn’t have the tools to provide innovative solutions.

The wrong process server can cause attorneys stress, liability risks, and case setbacks. If you can’t trust a professional process server’s adaptability, integrity, legal compliance, and customized delivery solutions, you’ll waste vital resources and might even face outright dismissal of your case.

You need to be able to build a lasting relationship with a process server in West Virginia who you can count on. Nationwide industry leader Firefly Legal can help. For three decades, we’ve offered attorneys efficient, dependable process servers with a proven track record of compliance and reliable service.

West Virginia process server laws and regulations

If you’re an attorney with offices in multiple states, it’s important to note that the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure may vary from those in neighboring states. If you use a private process server who works in several states, it’s important that they thoroughly understand and comply with the regulations in West Virginia.

The state laws that impact process servers may be amended at any time, and the right process server will be able to seamlessly adapt to these changes.

Firefly Legal can provide you with a trustworthy process server in West Virginia who adheres to state laws and works with integrity. 

Here are some of the civil procedure regulations that can impact a private process server in West Virginia.

Who can become a process server? 

There are no licensing requirements for a process server in the state. However, according to state laws, a private process server in West Virginia must meet the following requirements:

  • Must be at least 18 years old
  • Must be an unbiased third party with no involvement or interest in the case
  • Proof of service must be filed with the courts
  • A delivered summons must be signed by the court clerk, bear the seal of the court, and include the name and contact information of the plaintiff’s attorney
  • A delivered summons must include the date and time a defendant is required to appear — failure to appear after verified delivery can result in an automatic judgement against the defendant
  • All summons should be served with a copy of the complaint
  • The process of a civil action begins with filing the complaint with the court, before service of process occurs

Who a process server can serve

The West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure allow a private process server to serve any of the following parties:

  • An individual who is competent and over the age of 14
  • A parent, guardian, or legal custodian of an infant, an individual under the age of 14, or an individual who is incapacitated 
  • A member of a named defendant’s household who is over the age of 16
  • A committee, fiduciary, guardian, or guardian ad litem of a convict
  • Director, officer, or trustee of a domestic private corporation
  • Member of city council or board of commissioners, clerk, city manager, mayor, recorder, or treasurer of a city, town, or village
  • President or member of a board of education
  • Agent, director, or trustee of a qualified business trust or foreign corporation operating in the state
  • Agent or attorney of a business trust or foreign corporation not qualified to do business in the state
  • Director, governor, or officer of an unincorporated association (such as a non-profit educational foundation or homeowner’s association)
  • If a corporation cannot be contacted, then the Secretary of State can be served as a statutory attorney in fact

It’s also important to note the following:

  • Service must be made within 120 days of a filed complaint
  • Service must be at least 7 days before a scheduled hearing
  • A defendant’s response must be made at least 2 days before a scheduled hearing

Hours a process server can serve

West Virginia is one of several states with time limitations on when a process server can serve legal documents. Service cannot occur on a Sunday, unless a specific exception is made.

However, there are no limitations in place on Saturdays or holidays. Although a process server can also deliver legal documents at any time of day, when possible, it’s a good idea to follow the industry standard of delivery — anytime after 6:00 a.m. and before 10:00 p.m.

  • Legal Compliance:           

A Firefly Legal process server in West Virginia will always remain within compliance of the state’s laws and regulations, and stays current on any amendments to the rules of civil procedure. This ensures seamless delivery and protects you from setbacks or liability risks.

  • Proprietary Software:

Our proprietary software, the Firefly Legal Case Management System provides our clients with easy, secure access to case notes, real-time status updates, and other pertinent case details. The software is available 24/7 and completely confidential.

Audits of our process servers are vital to maintain our high standards. We routinely conduct audits to ensure efficiency and compliance. We’ll quickly adapt and course correct when necessary, and promote consistent growth and improvement to continue to exceed expectations.

We’ll work with confidentiality to ensure integrity and compliance as we serve your legal papers.    

  • Skip Tracing:

Skip tracing methods are often required for expedient and effective location of an intended recipient. A private process server may need to utilize technology and extensive research to quickly locate an individual and serve them a complaint, subpoena, or summons.

Skip tracing may include tracking social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, researching professional and personal histories, and through research of private and public databases. 

This allows our process servers to find someone who’s actively attempting to avoid service, or who has recently switched jobs or moved. 

  • Technology:

A Firefly Legal process server will utilize technology like electronic data interface (EDI), scannable bar codes, and streamlined workflows and waterfall processes to ensure efficiency and reliability, and to provide expediency in delivery.

  • Transparent Communication:

We’re available to answer any questions you may have, and will remain in open communication with you about any challenges that occur. You can access our client portal 24/7 and real-time updates that allow you to keep informed about the progress of your case.
