Service of Process | Personal Delivery Required 

When a pro se litigant or an attorney submit paperwork requesting involvement from a court, it's often incumbent upon the Petitioner to notify the Respondent under The Due Process Clause.

While all Service in New York State may be referred to as "Routine Service," Individual or Personal Service requires a Process Server to serve ONLY the respondent DIRECTLY (Personal In-Hand Delivery Required). No third party (substitute) may accept on the respondent's behalf, and no other method of Service is permitted. This is common in a Divorce or in Family Court proceedings.

You or your Attorney may not Serve the opposing party directly as a party to the action. 

Professional Service

In order to provide the best possible outcome , we ask for as much detail as possible regarding the respondent(s). Such information may include (but is not limited to) work & social schedule, a physical description, photo(s) and social media profiles, vehicle(s) they drive, last known addresses, etc.

In order to properly demonstrate due diligence and a good faith effort to locate & provide Service upon an evasive respondent (someone who's intentionally made themselves difficult to locate), it may be necessary to perform a Skip Trace search and check multiple addresses.

Hiding behind an intercom or refusing to open the door won't prohibit Service; Spector v. Berman.

As a Civil Process Serving business with a knack for finding and Serving individuals who've made themselves difficult to locate, one thing we don't go looking for is trouble. We're well prepared to deal with situations that go awry, but our approach to each Serve is practical over tactical.
