Have you found yourself in need of getting legal papers served in Florida? It can be easy to do a quick internet search, click a button to call the first on the list, and go about your business. But how do you know that process server is worth your time and effort? How do you know they will legally and correctly serve your legal papers? Here are some things to look for when choosing a process server.
Confirm ability to legally serve papers in Florida
Most of Florida has strict requirements that people must meet before they become a process server. In most districts, they must take a course and pass an exam before being allowed to serve papers. They also have to be bonded, registered, and approved with the district courts. Don’t take someone’s word for it. Make sure they are legit by confirming.
Get references and local testimonials
The first place to start when looking for any local service is getting recommendations from friends and family. We have served enough of Florida’s population to be mentioned in these discussions most of the time. You can also check out local testimonials of people who used their services.
Check online reviews, BBB, and local Chamber of Commerce
You really can’t rely on the old methods of getting references and first-hand testimonials anymore. They are still a good place to start. But if you really want to know if a company is good at what they do, you need to head onto the net. You can get reviews from Bing, Yelp, Yahoo, Google, and others.
You can also check out the company with the Better Business Bureau and your local Chamber of Commerce before making a decision. These agencies provide reports of nefarious activities of different companies. If the company has a history of poor service or misleading practices, it will show with a low grade, making it easy to protect yourself.
