What do you need?

Choose one service. You can add instructions later for anything the form does not cover.

Serve papers on a person or business Summonses, complaints, subpoenas, writs and protection orders. We do not serve eviction papers. From $89 per party.

Take documents to a courthouse We file at the counter, collect certified copies or hand-deliver courtesy copies. From $55.

Have a notary come to you We travel to you. $15 notary fee per document, plus travel from $45.

Looking for e-filing or litigation support?

We do not offer either service at the moment. If you need papers filed with the court, a court run takes the papers you have prepared and signed to the clerk, files them or picks them up, and brings back the receipts or certified copies. You remain the filer.

How fast do you need it?

Every speed includes four attempts. They differ in how soon the first attempt is made and how quickly the others follow.

Standard $89 per party · First attempt within 3 business days. Four attempts over ten days.

Rush $149 per party · First attempt within 24 hours. Four attempts over five days.

Same day $219 per party · Order and documents by 11:00 am. First attempt the same day. Four attempts over five days.

If we miss the first-attempt deadline, we refund the difference

On rush and same-day orders, if we do not make the first attempt by the deadline, we automatically refund the difference from the standard rate: $60 for each party charged at the rush rate and $130 for each party charged at the same-day rate. You keep the service and the remaining attempts, and you do not need to ask. On an invoiced order, the refund is a credit on the invoice instead.

Who is ordering?

Your answer sets how you are billed. It does not change the service.

Ordering as

A law firm Your firm's first two orders are paid in advance. After that, orders go on a monthly invoice on net-30 terms, paid by ACH or check.

Your name

The person we should contact about this order.

Email

We send every status update to this address. You also use it to sign in to the portal, where your documents are kept.

Mobile number (optional)

Optional. We use it only if you choose text updates later in the form.

The papers to serve

Tell us what the papers are, then upload them. PDF is the best format. Printing is included in the service fee.

What are the documents?

As they are titled, for example: Summons, Complaint and Civil Case Cover Sheet.

Documents (PDF)

Upload the complete set, exactly as it should be served, including any attachments or exhibits. Your file is uploaded to encrypted storage once the order is placed. We keep a record that lets us confirm later that the file has not changed.

Court (optional)

Optional. We add it to our record of the order. We cannot tell you which court is the right one.

Case number (optional)

Optional. It helps us keep several orders for one matter together.

Case caption (optional)

As it appears on the papers, for example Smith v. Jones.

Who are we serving, and where?

Add one entry for each party to be served. Two parties at the same address count as one stop, so the second is $45 rather than a full fee.

Timing and instructions

Working to a deadline? (optional)

Mountain time. If you are working to a date, enter it here and we will tell you whether the speed or turnaround you chose can meet it. We cannot tell you what your deadline is.

Anything else?

These are optional. Each one you choose appears as its own line on the quote.

Search for a current address $75, or $40 if we find nothing new · Useful when the address comes from an old lease, returned mail or a document more than a year old. If the search finds nothing new, we charge the lower amount.

Notarized affidavit for a court outside Colorado $20 per party, plus a $15 notary fee · Choose this only if your case is in a court outside Colorado that wants a notarized affidavit. Colorado's civil rules accept our standard signed declaration as proof of service, and for a court outside Colorado you can instead attach that court's own proof form for us to complete. A second notary notarizes the affidavit, because a notary cannot notarize their own signature. The $15 notary fee is the legal maximum, charged by that notary.

Wait and serve

For a party who will be at a known place at a known time. We wait for them there rather than making a single visit.

Extra attempts beyond the four included

You can also add extra attempts later, once you know how the included attempts have gone.

Substituted mailings

Only when the court has ordered substituted service. We complete and document the mailing the court's order requires. We cannot tell you whether substituted service is available in your case.

Instructions (optional)

Anything the process server should know. If you are serving a subpoena that commands someone to attend, please send the witness fees and mileage that must be tendered with it, usually a check made out to the witness. We tender it when we serve and say so in the declaration.

Your price

Your itemized quote, with our fees and third-party fees shown separately.

Our fees. What we charge for our work.

Third-party fees. Court, clerk and state fees, charged at cost with no markup. If we pay one on your behalf, you pay exactly what was charged, and we attach the receipt. There is no fee for advancing it. Paid parking on a serve, court run or document delivery, if we need it, is not on the quote. It is billed after the job at exactly what we paid, with the receipt, and never more than $30.00 on one order without asking you first.

Payment

Pay by card or bank transfer. Payments are processed by Stripe, and we never see your card number.

Your card details go directly to Stripe. They do not pass through our systems, and we do not store them. On a process service, court run or document delivery order, if you check the parking authorization box, Stripe keeps the card on file so that parking we paid for on that order can be charged to it once, after the order is finished, up to $30.00, with the receipt. Without the box checked, and on every notary appointment, the card is not kept. Section 4 of the terms of service has the details.

If you cancel

Before anyone sets out: we refund everything you paid, court fees included, less a $5.00 cancellation fee, the same however you paid.
Once we are on the way, before the first attempt: we keep a $35.00 trip fee and refund the rest.
Once an attempt has been made: nothing is refunded, except court fees we had not yet paid out.
You can cancel at any point until the person is served.

On an invoiced order, the same amounts apply: we credit the rest on your invoice and bill only what we keep. A cancellation takes effect when we receive it. Before we set out, you can change an order instead of cancelling it; changes are free, and only the difference is paid or refunded. The full rule is in section 6 of the terms of service.
