Fowler Township in Trumbull County spans three ZIP codes and operates its own police department, and a process server working there can deliver summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers ordered online at the order page. Standard Service costs $185 for a first attempt within 5 business days, Rush Service costs $225 for one within 48 hours, and 24-Hour Service costs $265 for one aimed within 24 hours. A successful delivery is followed by a signed proof of service, emailed.
What a Process Server Costs in Fowler Township
Warren is the county seat, 9.5 miles from the township, and Trumbull County is not among the six areas the rates page names for the 24-hour tier. Therefore a first attempt within 24 hours at $265 is not promised and rides on submission time and server availability. The reliable windows belong to Standard Service ($185) and Rush Service ($225). A retry after a failed delivery is $25. See rates.
Trumbull County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
