The Top Questions You Should Ask a Process Server Before Hiring

Published August 18, 2015 | By Accurate Serve Port St Lucie

troubleWhen selecting a local process server, it’s important to ensure you hire the right person for the job. They’ll need to be a trusted, reliable firm with a proven track-record, and it’s vital to ask the right questions before you invest in their services.

Questions to Ask Your Local Process Server

  1. Licenses and Registration. In certain states, process servers will require a license to practice. They may also be required to carry certain types of insurance, such as Errors and Omissions Insurance. It’s important to check before agreeing to use their services.
  2. Ask for testimonials. Before hiring, don’t be afraid to ask for client testimonials. Ask if you can speak directly to other companies that have used their services, as this will give you a detailed picture of just how effective they are. It’s also advisable to do your own research. Search for reviews and look out for any complaints that come up online. One complaint from a disgruntled customer may not provide a fair overview of the company; but several complaints should certainly be a concern.
  3. Ask about experience. When working with a process server, you want to work alongside a professional with relevant qualifications and experience to do the job to a high standard. Ask them how long they’ve been in operation, how successful they generally are, and what sort of clients they’ve worked with in the past.
  4. Enquire about fees. It’s vital to establish, right from the start, what the costs will be. This will help avoid a situation where you’re faced with hidden costs in the future. Remember to ask whether the quoted fee includes all the services you require, and if not, what the additional cost will be. A reputable firm will not have a problem sharing this information with you.
