Best Private Investigators in Gainesville, GA

Trying to serve a defendant that resides in a different state than where your case originates? While you can’t personally deliver documents across state lines, don’t let that stop your case. Learning the proper procedures will allow your lawsuit to progress legally. The keys are utilizing your state's long-arm statute and following the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The long-arm statute establishes personal jurisdiction despite defendants living externally. Once jurisdiction is confirmed, formal service of process can occur through certified mail or by arranging personal delivery via a court official like a sheriff or special process server in the destination state. Additionally, acquiring a signed waiver of service form from the defendant avoids bureaucratic hassles. We can refer trusted process servers in all 50 states. While serving out-of-state defendants adds an initial hurdle, adhering to judicial rules and statutes clears the path for your case to proceed successfully. Let our litigation support team help explain specifics for your situation during a free consultation.
