What a Process Server Costs in Minerva Park

Rush Service, $225, offers a first attempt within 48 hours, and Standard Service, $185, a first attempt within 5 business days. Another attempt after a failed delivery is $25. See rates or order.
Franklin County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk mails a certified-mail summons unless told otherwise. Filing a written request for hand delivery turns the job over to a sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server.
