We hear similar questions about Wisconsin process service all the time. Maybe you have had some of these same questions yourself:

What is process service?

In US law, when someone has a legal action taken against them, they must be informed of this fact in a timely and reliable way so that they can answer the charges or action in court. Notifying someone of a legal action against them is known as service of process and it involves delivering legal documents to parties in a legal action, so that all parties have full knowledge of the legal situation at hand.


What is a process server?

A process server delivers the legal documents to those who are involved in legal actions. Professional process servers must abide by all the laws regarding their profession in the state and locality where they are conducting business. Therefore, professionals in Northcentral Wisconsin and other cities across the state must be aware of Wisconsin process of service regulations as well as any local regulations regarding trespassing or other related rules.

Process servers will usually find the person who is named on legal documents which are part of an assignment, confirm that the person they have located is the intended recipient, and then hand over the legal documents. Then, they provide an affidavit of service, which proves that the person was served and also lists the location, time, and date of the delivery.

Can I deliver legal documents myself?

In virtually all legal cases, it is important to work with a good process server rather than trying to deliver documents yourself. A professional Wausau Process Server, for example, understands state laws and local laws. If the state requires licensing, a professional will have this as well. A process service professional can ensure that your documents are delivered in full compliance of all relevant laws, preventing costly delays and problems with your legal claim.
