What a Process Server Costs in Jefferson Township
Starting with the rush end, 24-Hour Service ($265) is aimed at a first attempt within 24 hours, but nothing is promised, because the rates page ties it to early orders and local server availability. The mid-priced Rush Service ($225) puts the first attempt inside 48 hours. Standard Service ($185) is the budget route, with a first attempt within 5 business days. Should the papers fail to land, further tries are $25 per attempt, and the rates page says so too.
