Important: Prepared legal documents required

Documents must reach our office already prepared by you or your legal counsel.Downey Legal Process Server and Messenger Service serves, files, and returns legal documents. We do not draft notices, select notice periods, or provide legal advice on landlord-tenant matters.

What we perform

  • Service of statutory notices prior to lawsuit filing, as your instructions direct
  • Service of unlawful detainer summons, complaints, and filed pleadings
  • Courthouse filing support and conformed copy retrieval for the matter
  • Conscientious documented attempts at the provided addresses
  • Prompt return of formal proofs of service in your required format

Procedural compliance and methods

Personal service, substituted service, posting, and mailing are utilized strictly where applicable statutory rules and your written instructions allow. Because procedural requirements depend on specific facts of your case, the service method is never chosen for you.

Strict attention to deadlines

Unlawful detainer actions operate under accelerated statutory timelines. Provide the earliest critical date on the service request form, including any scheduled court hearing, so our review team can immediately confirm scheduling.

Authorized requesters

Requests are accepted from attorneys, law firms, paralegals, property managers, and authorized property representatives. The authorizing person name is recorded with the file.
