What a Process Server Costs in Dennison
Dennison's size is no reason for special pricing, and none applies. Standard Service is $185; Rush Service is $225. The 24-Hour tier is $265, and the rates page says its first attempt is not promised and fits early orders in six named metro areas, so this village depends on submission time and server availability. Further attempts cost $25. See the rates page.
