Legal Documents Served Right

California Process Servers is a family-owned, registered and bonded process serving firm based at 20350 Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills. We deliver legal documents and return court-ready proofs of service for individuals, attorneys, paralegals, landlords and property managers throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties. Every assignment is handled by servers who are registered in compliance with California Business and Professions Code sections 22350 and 22353 and covered by an active surety bond.

Documents we serve every week

Eviction and unlawful detainer notices, summons and complaints, restraining orders, small claims claims and orders, deposition and records subpoenas, wage garnishments, bank levies, writs and orders to show cause, family law papers, demand letters and cease and desist notices. Each document type carries its own requirements about who may accept service and how it must be documented, and matching the method to the document is what keeps a case from being sent back to the beginning.

Turnaround that reflects reality

Routine assignments typically have a first attempt within three to four days after the job is assigned to a server. Rush orders get priority handling: orders received before 12pm on a business day are prioritized for a same-day first attempt, otherwise the first attempt is typically made within 1-2 days after the job is assigned to a server. Same-day attempts are not guaranteed. Restraining orders, evictions, and orders due within 8 days are always attempted as Rush. All timing is subject to server availability. Standard service includes four attempts varied across days and times, and proofs are generally returned within two to three business days after service completes. These are estimates, not guarantees, and we would rather discuss a tight timeline than promise completion by a deadline.

Hard serves, skip tracing and court filing

When a party avoids service, we vary attempt times, verify addresses in the field, run database and public records skip tracing to locate a current residence or workplace, and offer stakeouts where the situation calls for it. If personal service is not achievable, we prepare the declaration of due diligence a court needs to authorize substituted service, posting or publication. Completed proofs can be filed for you at the Van Nuys, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Orange County, Stanley Mosk, Glendale, Anaheim and Chatsworth courthouses.
