Process Server in Wisconsin

Finding a professional and competent Wisconsin process server can be challenging. You want to get your legal documents served quickly and accurately, but who do you trust to provide this vital service? Founded in 1996, Firefly Legal has provided process server services for almost three decades. We’re fast, efficient, and get the job done. When you need to serve legal papers, Firefly has your back.

Process servers deliver legal documents and draft affidavits to confirm delivery in court.
Process servers track down hard-to-find individuals.

Why Use a Professional Process Server?

Wisconsin has no restrictions on who can serve papers other than the individual must be at least 18 years old. You may think that delivering legal papers is a breeze and that anyone with a heartbeat can accomplish this. However, the legal documents being served are the foundation of your case. Do you want someone with zero or limited experience handling this? Probably not.

  • Save TimeEveryone in your law firm is most likely busy. Serving legal documents can be a time-consuming project best left to be handled by staff outside of your firm. Some recipients can be difficult to find or purposefully evasive.
  • Let the Professionals Do What They Do BestServing papers isn’t as easy as it may seem. Process servers have the legal knowledge of not only how to serve but also how to prepare affidavits of service, which can be essential for verifying that documents were properly served in court.
  • Avoid Bias – Using a neutral third party to serve helps to eliminate conflicts of interest and any other problems that can arise when a defendant is being served legal documents.
  • Expertise in Handling Difficult SituationsNot all defendants handle being served in the same way. Process servers are trained to handle evasive recipients or those who become hostile. Serving legal documents isn’t for lawyers; it’s for those who have been trained and can handle all situations with calm and professionalism.

There’s much more to serving papers than handing them over to defendants. Don’t take the risk of wasting time, resources, and experiencing difficult encounters by sending a staff member who’s ill-trained to handle the types of challenges this necessary part of the legal process can bring. Let Firefly Legal handle this necessary task while you and your staff take care of your clients.

Who Gets Served in Wisconsin?

Some types of lawsuits could have multiple defendants who will need to be served. While sometimes it’s an individual defendant, many times a lawsuit could contain multiple defendants. As you know, cases involving corporations or multiple parties can be quite complex and each party will need to be served. This highlights just how time-consuming the process of serving can be.

In Wisconsin, targeted recipients could include:

  • Defendants – Defendants in a lawsuit must be served a copy of the complaint to be notified of the plaintiff’s intentions.
  • Witnesses – Not all witnesses are compliant and may require court-ordered subpoenas to come and testify.
  • Third parties – Sometimes, individuals who are not directly involved but have relevant information about the case will need to be served with a summons to appear in court and cooperate.

Hiring a professional process server eliminates the need to track down and find the individuals who need to be served legal paperwork. This isn’t a job for the average person law firm employee.

What Is Skip Tracing?

When serving legal documents, sometimes it’s not as easy as showing up at an individual’s home or place of employment. Until all defendants and witnesses have been served, a case cannot continue. This is where skip tracing comes into play.

Skip tracing is a technique used by process servers to locate individuals who are difficult to find or have intentionally concealed their whereabouts. Savvy process servers use many different investigative techniques to locate people who don’t want to be located. While this process sounds exciting and visions of “private eyes” come to mind, it’s mostly accomplished sitting diligently behind a laptop, searching public records, databases, and other places that can reveal someone’s home address or place of employment.

However, for more elusive individuals who have been successful at eluding being served a summons, it may require a bit more effort, including staking out known or suspected locations their target goes to. Either way, a competent process server will get the job done.

Serve Defendants right the first time.

Being a leader in the civil process service industry means providing our clients with unparalleled integrity, excellence, and reliability.

Why Choose Firefly for Your Wisconsin Process Server Needs?

Lawyers in need of a process server want to work with an established server who knows the ins and outs of process serving. While many firms will claim they’re suitable for the job, some don’t have the experience or savvy we have at Firefly. With decades of know-how, we’ve been serving legal papers with professionalism and have a highly trained staff to get the job done.

Legal documents must first be served to the defendants to kickstart your next case. As many lawyers have found out, some defendants may not be too keen on starting the process. Our experienced team hit the ground running even before they attempt to deliver the documents. Firefly’s approach to serving papers begins prior to serving.

Firefly Legal treats all cases with confidentiality and complies with any discretionary requirements.
  1. Prior to service, we ensure that your legal documents are accurate and align with the court.
  2. We monitor and evaluate the timeliness and number of attempts to ensure that we are compliant with local regulations.
  3. Upon service, we execute and review an affidavit to ensure that our work meets client expectations and court requirements.
  4. After service, we internally audit the serve to see if we can improve in any way.
