Why should I hire a process server and not serve legal documents myself?
Written on December 24, 2009
In Small Claims Court and Superior Court it is often to your benefit to hire a professional process server to serve your Plaintiff’s Claim or Statement of Claim. Often, Judges will recognize the process server and will believe that the document was served in a proper manner. Should you try and serve the Plaintiff’s Claim yourself, and the Defendant disputes service, you may have a more difficult time proving you did serve it.
Defendants will react unpredictably when being served a legal document as court can be an intimidating ordeal to learn about. Having a professional serve your Plaintiff’s Claim for you will eliminate animosity between yourself and the defendant and ensure both sides of the dispute save face.
In addition, we will often gather additional helpful information that will assist you in your case in the future. For example, we may obtain vehicle licence plate numbers or phone numbers that will become valuable information for you.
