Holgate, a Henry County village, keeps a police department of its own on the federal directory, and a process server can be hired online for the papers its lawsuits produce: summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and the like. Pace is chosen from Standard, Rush and 24-Hour, and each successful delivery is followed by an emailed signed proof of service.
What a Process Server Costs in Holgate
For Holgate, the cheapest route is Standard Service, $185, which includes a first attempt within 5 business days. Spend a little more on Rush Service, $225, and the first attempt is promised within 48 hours. The fastest, 24-Hour Service, $265, is an aim of 24 hours and nothing firmer, since submission time and server availability in the area decide. Retrying an incomplete delivery is $25 each time. Look at the rates page, and place an order through the order form.
Henry County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk begins by mailing the summons, return receipt requested. If the plaintiff files a written request for personal or residence service, though, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server is the person who delivers.
