📘 What Is Process Service?
Process service is the formal delivery of legal documents to an individual, business, or organization involved in a legal matter.
Proper service helps establish that the receiving party has been given notice of the proceeding and any related legal obligations.
At ProExpress Process, we handle each assignment with attention to deadlines, service instructions, documentation, and communication. Our role is to carry out service professionally, document each attempt, provide timely updates, and deliver the appropriate completion documentation once the assignment is concluded.
📑 Documents We Serve

⚖️ Summons & Complaints

Documents notifying a defendant that a lawsuit has been filed and providing information about the claims, the court where the matter is pending, and the steps the recipient may need to take in response. These documents are commonly used to formally begin a civil case and provide notice that legal action is underway.

📜 Subpoenas

Documents requiring an individual or organization to appear in court, attend a deposition, testify, produce records, or provide other requested evidence. Subpoenas are often time-sensitive and may include specific appearance dates, production deadlines, or instructions that must be followed.

🚨 Temporary Restraining Orders & Restraining Orders

Court documents intended to restrict certain conduct or protect a party while a legal matter is pending. These assignments are often urgent and may require prompt service because hearings, enforcement deadlines, or other court dates can follow shortly after issuance.

🏛️ Writs
Court-issued documents directing an individual, business, or public official to take or refrain from a particular action. Depending on the matter, a writ may relate to possession of property, enforcement of a judgment, or another court-ordered obligation..
🏠 Eviction & Landlord-Tenant Documents
Notices, petitions, citations, and other documents used in landlord-tenant disputes involving possession, lease violations, unpaid rent, or eviction proceedings. These matters often involve strict timelines, making accurate and timely service especially important. Family Law Documents
Citations, petitions, motions, notices, and related documents involving divorce, custody, child support, modification, enforcement, and other family-law proceedings. These assignments may involve sensitive circumstances and are handled professionally and discreetly.
🧾 Probate & Estate Documents
Documents involving estates, heirs, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, and other interested parties. These may include notices, petitions, citations, or other filings connected with estate administration and probate proceedings.💰 
Garnishments & Judgment-Enforcement Documents
Documents associated with certain post-judgment collection and enforcement proceedings.
🏢 Business & Commercial Litigation
Legal documents involving corporations, partnerships, registered agents, business owners, and commercial disputes. These assignments may require service at a company office, registered-agent address, place of business, or other authorized location.
🏡 Foreclosure Documents
Notices, petitions, and other legal documents connected with foreclosure proceedings involving real property. These matters may involve property owners, occupants, lenders, trustees, or other interested parties.
📂 Other Legal Documents
We may also accept additional civil, administrative, state, federal, and court-related documents depending on the nature of the assignment, jurisdiction, deadline, and applicable service requirements.
