What types of legal documents do you serve?

At Window Rock Legal Support, we serve a variety of legal documents including Summons, Small Claims Orders, Subpoenas, and more. Our skilled team ensures timely and accurate service tailored to your needs.

How skilled is your team?

At Window Rock Legal Support, our core team carries the certification CCPS. That stands for CALSPro-Certified Process Server. That’s the highest level of certification there is in California. It means we’ve gone through an intense level of training and examination from the state’s premier trade organization. Furthermore, for difficult matters, or the specific service requirements for out-of-state courts, we’ve cultivated a prestigious network of advisors and affiliates to provide the answers and the correct manner of process for any situation. You can trust our expertise and dedication.

How will I know if you serve my summons?

Communication is key for us. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, if that’s what you want. So you’ll know when we make attempts and when we serve the documents successfully. Then you will receive what’s called a Proof of Service. That’s the official document signed by the process server that tells the court how, when and to whom the documents were served. The Proof of Service is the key document. That’s what we’re selling to you.

Can’t I serve the documents myself, or have a buddy do it? Can’t I use the Sheriff’s Department for this?

Sorry, no. You cannot serve the documents yourself. The law states that the person serving the documents “cannot be a party to the case.” Yes, you can have a friend do it. He or she might get lucky and get the papers to the right person. But there is considerable risk that it might not hold up in court. When a registered process server completes and signs a Proof a Service, however, an interesting thing happens: the burden of proof switches to the person served. In this respect, the word of a process server carries more weight than that of a person who is not a process server.

The Sheriff’s Department will serve documents for you for a fee. The challenge is that deputies have set schedules and are not incentivized to successfully complete service. They are much more likely to make a few attempts and then tell you the person couldn’t be served. It’s not the deputies’ fault — they’re very busy and have a huge caseload. For this reason, entrusting a registered process server is often a much more prudent use of resources.
