A process server delivers legal documents to a defendant or an individual involved in a lawsuit. The process server must serve the documents in accordance with the laws in the jurisdiction of service or by the laws of the forwarding jurisdiction. This service is performed by handing the documents to the individual personally or by effecting substitute service upon someone in the same household or business. Documents are delivered to someone of proper age, which varies state to state. Once the documents are served, the process server is required to provide proof that the papers were served. This is done through a document called an Affidavit of Service, or Proof of Service, which may be notarized and given to the party who requested service. B&R process servers may also file your legal documents with the court, handle document retrieval and other various types of services.

As a substitute for personal service by a process server, many jurisdictions promote voluntary acceptance of service. The summons and other documents are mailed to the party to be served, along with a request to sign and return a form of acceptance of service, or acknowledgement of service.

In most states, process servers are restricted from trespassing on property as a means of serving process. Such invasions, no matter how innocent, are regarded as not only invalid, but illegal and may result in penalties for offenders.

Certain states prohibit the delivery or serving of documents on Sundays, holidays, and election days. Some states will allow the service of documents under special circumstances, such as when the service of process is pursuant to a court order.

B&R Services for Professionals offers a B&R Client Portal to improve the efficiency of your legal support. Clients can login and check the status of services. They can lookup attempts, completion information and even download copies of Affidavits of Service. Clients can receive email notification when a job is created, attempted and/or completed to keep them constantly informed on the status of a job. Clients can receive GPS tagged service attempts/completion information. This gives them the assurance that the papers they requested to be served were served at exactly the time and place that the server said they were.
