Q: What happens if my paper doesn't get served?

A: If a paper cannot be served our process server will complete an "Affidavit of Non-Service" detailing their attempts to serve the paper. This Affidavit can be filed and brought to court.

​

Q: What if I don't know exactly where a person lives to serve them?

A: If you need us to serve someone, but don't know where they are located, we can perform a "Skip Trace." This is a program that allows us to find a person's most recent address. To make our search more accurate we need either the person's date of birth, previous address, or social security number if known.

​

Q: I'm interested, how do I get started?

A: If you're interested in using our services, start by sending your documents to documents@swlaprocess.com. After you've sent us your paperwork and the documents are reviewed, an Invoice will be sent to you by email. Submit your payment and we'll take care of the rest from there!

​

Q: What should I expect after I send over all my paperwork?

A: After we receive your documents and requests, we will review your documents and proceed as you requested. After the server has completed the assignment, they will sign and email you a "Proof of Service." This form states the date, time and location the individual was served. You can either have us file the proof of service, or we can send you the un-filed proof of service for you to file.
