Process Serving in Sacramento & Placer County

Professional service of legal documents throughout Northern California. Whether you're a law firm or handling your own case, we make the process simple.

What is Process Serving?

Process serving is the legal delivery of court documents to notify someone that they are a party to a legal action. California law requires that defendants be properly notified ("served") before a case can proceed.

Don't worry if you're not familiar with this process. We help individuals every day who are handling divorces, restraining orders, small claims, and other cases on their own. We'll explain everything and guide you through each step.
