What a Process Server Costs in Strasburg
Prices do not depend on village or city status. Standard Service is $185, Rush Service is $225, and 24-Hour Service is $265. The rates page says the 24-hour first attempt is not promised and fits early orders in the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron and Toledo areas, so Strasburg's availability depends on submission time and server availability. Another attempt costs $25. Check rates.
Tuscarawas County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
