What a Process Server Costs in New London
New London, 15.6 miles from the courthouse in Norwalk, is not among the six areas the rates page names for 24-hour work, so the $265 tier is not promised and hinges on submission time and server availability. Standard Service ($185) and Rush Service ($225) have steadier windows, and a further attempt after a failed delivery adds $25. See rates.
