Process Server

A process server is a person who delivers legal documents, such as a summons and complaint, to start a trial. They may also specialize in delivering papers to people who are trying to avoid being served. Process servers are often licensed and regulated by the government.

For example, if someone is being sued, a process server may deliver the legal documents to them. If the person is avoiding being served, the process server may have to use different tactics to find and deliver the documents, such as staking out their home or workplace.

Another example is if someone is being evicted from their home, a process server may deliver the eviction notice to them.

These examples illustrate how process servers are responsible for delivering important legal documents to people involved in legal proceedings. They play a crucial role in ensuring that the legal process is carried out fairly and efficiently.
