Can the request include witness-fee arrangements?

Include the required witness or subpoena fee as an advance amount, with your fee instructions and the number of checks needed. The advance and check-handling charge are collected with the service payment; review the complete total before paying.

How should I flag a deadline?

Include the exact appearance or production date and any separate service deadline in your instructions. Availability and proposed timing are confirmed for the request.

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.
