NAPPS PSACO CSPI      PPIAC

Analogously to the Post Office, we have 3 basic classes of service, defined as:

Standard Service: First attempt within 4 days. This is also known as non-rush. It means that we can attempt the serve on a standard, non-rush basis along with our other serves, and schedule attempts as we see fit.

2 Day Rush: First attempt within 2 Days. This means we can still serve it along with other serves, but moves it ahead of them in priority and moves the first attempt up.

Same Day Rush: First attempt today. This means we have to drop everything and attempt service today, moving all lower priority serves out of the way for it. If we have no other serves to attempt today, we still attempt this class. ( This does not include surveillance time - waiting around for extended time periods and watching for someone, to serve them. ) This is also the category that appointment serves fall into. If we have to be some place on a particular day at a particular time ( an appointment ) then it becomes Same Day Rush, even if it's scheduled in advance.

The following are per the usual industry standards: Fees are per defendant, per set of documents and per address attempted. None of these fees include surveillance or multiple attempts per day. Fees are for making diligent attempts.

"Skip Trace Attempt" listed below, is for predominantly a database skip trace, which doesn't involve on-the-ground or extensive investigations, which costs much more.

Our policy is that we require prepayment of our fees.

Also, please note:

* Restraining Orders which involve alleged violence or threats of violence: We urge you to do these on a "Same Day Rush" basis ( Same Day Rush fees apply.) If it's serious enough for someone to swear out a restraining order from the court for such allegations, service should be attempted the same day. And please provide us a photo.

* Please include any and all information about the party being served, up front, so we may get your service done in the quickest and most efficient manner, right from the start. It's also very important to let us know if there's a hard deadline date for your service.

* There is an additional printing fee for printing over about 25 pages, of $3 per 25 pages above that number. If your documents are more than about 25 pages, you may wish to send them by regular mail, express mail, Fedex or UPS overnight if it's a rush.

* To expedite service please send documents without a mail or Fedex delivery signature requirement.

Why It’s In Your Interest To Call Colorado Process Servers

( This page is a synopsis of the article that follows, which is a more
detailed explanation, if you have the time and inclination to read it. )

* Finding a good process server isn’t like buying a TV set, they’re not all made the same.

* Colorado is still an unregulated state when it comes to who can serve legal process here. People who serve on the weekends for beer money and don’t really care about your valuable work. Even convicted felons can serve. What might that do to your case?

* Process servers vary in the degree of honesty and integrity, and Colorado does not have or enforce any professional standards.

* Not all process servers are optimally motivated or driven, nor are they equally talented at the work. “It’s not like delivering pizza”, after all.

* The sheriff may cost less, but then they add mileage fees on top of that. They usually only go out from about 9 AM to 3 PM, when people aren’t usually at home. One recently attempted a “Same Day Rush” serve on a defendant at his place of employment, at 12:30 PM when the defendant was out to lunch. The plaintiff was in trouble and called us! The sheriff usually limits their efforts to 3 attempts.

* Big process serving companies are usually owned and operated by experienced people, who then hire less experienced people as subcontractors, whom they pay much less. They often have a high turnover because of that. The subcontractors may have only had a two hour class, and then been sent out to serve. No professional standards govern them.

* If you want the cheapest process server and don’t care about the quality, “you get what you pay for”.

* When you come to us, only a member of NAPPS and PSACO ( National and State professional organizations. ) will do your serves. Those professional organizations have certain minimum criteria ( no convicted felons, for example. ) and require that their members abide by certain professional standards.

So please consider all the above important points and call us to discuss your needs and how we can serve them, and for any other questions!
