What We Handle in Rutherford County

Service of Process

We serve legal documents for attorneys, law firms, businesses, and legal teams handling Rutherford County matters. Each attempt is documented, and completed service includes court-ready proof for your records or filing needs.
Common documents include:
  • Civil summons and complaints
  • Subpoenas
  • Family law documents

  • Protective and court orders
  • Eviction-related notices and filings
  • Post-judgment documents
  • Small claims and civil warrants
  • Garnishments and related enforcement documents

Skip Tracing and Address Verification

If a defendant, witness, or party cannot be located at the address provided, skip tracing may help identify updated address information or useful leads before additional attempts are made.
Skip tracing may be helpful when:
  • The person has moved
  • The provided address is outdated
  • The address is incomplete
  • Mail has been returned
  • The defendant is avoiding service
  • Employment or household information may help with timing
  • Prior service attempts were unsuccessful
Using lawful research methods and available databases, we help legal teams reduce unnecessary delays when the original address is no longer reliable.

Court Filing Coordination

Some Rutherford County assignments may require filing before or after service. We can assist with filing coordination when needed, including electronic filing where available and clerk office filing where physical submission is required.
Please include clear filing instructions, court information, and deadline details when submitting your documents so they can be routed correctly.

Difficult Service and Coordinated Attempts

Some service assignments require more than routine attempts. If the subject is evasive, rarely available, located at a multi-dwelling property, or connected to an address with access limitations, we can coordinate the service approach based on the details provided.
This may include:
  • Targeted service windows
  • Early-morning or evening attempts
  • Address verification
  • Public-location observation when lawful
  • Detailed attempt reporting
  • Coordination with skip tracing when needed
  • Additional field planning for difficult assignments
