Service attempts and Proof of Service.

Follow the documented attempts and outcome in your client workspace. For completed service, review the applicable Proof of Service and other shared service documents. An attempt record and a completed serve describe different outcomes.

Explore your workspace
What should I include in my first request?

Select Request service, then sign in or create an account in the client portal. Choose the service and complete the case details, location, deadline and requested documents. Add any relevant add-ons, then review the request and fees before proceeding.

What happens when I submit a service request?

Eligible process-serving and court or document-support requests can proceed to checkout at the published rate. Rush or Same-Day timing does not itself require a manual quote. Requests with a review requirement, such as Remote Assistant or a partner-service inquiry, go to the team for confirmation. Creating an account alone does not submit a request, and payment does not guarantee a successful outcome.

Can I request more than one service?

Yes. Describe the steps you need, such as court filing followed by courtesy copy delivery. Each part of the work will be clarified so the destinations, timing and deliverables are clear.

UNDERSTAND YOUR DELIVERABLES

Proof of Service and the attempt record.

A Proof of Service records how court papers were served, including the documents, recipient, location and timing. The form and any additional requirements depend on the documents and the matter.

California Courts: serving court papers
After the work
Review the reported result and applicable service documents shared in your client workspace. The record should reflect the work actually performed.
If service is unsuccessful
An unsuccessful attempt is recorded as an attempt. Discuss any further work, address change or additional instructions with the team within the scope of your request.
Returning a document and filing it
Receiving a Proof of Service does not by itself confirm that it has been filed with the court. Identify any filing task separately and review the reported submission result.
