What a Process Server Costs in Perry Township
Anyone expecting a single flat fee will find three. Standard Service is $185. Rush Service is $225. The third, $265 for 24-Hour Service, carries the caveat that the first attempt within 24 hours is not promised and, per the rates page, works for early orders in the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron and Toledo areas, so Perry Township is a question of submission time and availability. If a delivery fails, another attempt costs $25. See rates.
