Pulaski Township, in Williams County, is a single-ZIP township just 2.0 miles from the county courthouse in Bryan, so a process server working there is rarely far from the clerk. Summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers can be ordered through the order form. The three levels are $185 Standard Service (first attempt within 5 business days), $225 Rush Service (first attempt within 48 hours) and $265 24-Hour Service (first attempt within 24 hours). Papers that are delivered come back with a signed proof of service in email.
What a Process Server Costs in Pulaski Township
A hearing coming up fast tempts people toward the $265 tier, but the rates page spells out a limit. The first attempt within 24 hours is not promised, early orders in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron and Toledo are the practical ones, and a Williams County township depends on submission time and server availability. Close to the courthouse or not, Standard Service and Rush Service are the firmer tiers. Any further attempt costs $25. See rates.
Williams County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Summonses in Williams County normally leave the clerk's office by certified mail. If a plaintiff puts a request for personal or residence service in writing, the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server handles it.
Who May Serve Papers in Williams County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
