Service of Process Boca Raton Florida

Service of process in Boca Raton, FL is full of challenges different from most of Florida and the United States. With a population of over 89,000 and almost as many gated communities and secured entry condominiums, achieving service of legal documents is a step or two more difficult. On Time Legal Service, has the skill and expertise to overcome these issues, when performing service of process in Boca Raton. Florida requires any guard in a gated community or a condominium to grant unannounced entry to a person serving process per FS 48.031. Unfortunately, many security guards are not aware of the statute and often turn away process servers thinking they are helping the occupants inside. One way On Time Legal Service, has avoided delays in Boca Raton, is by carrying a copy of the statue and furnishing a copy to the security staff. On Time Legal Services only uses certified process servers appointed by the Chief Judge in Palm Beach County, for process service in Boca Raton. Even though it is legal for a person over the age of 18, and who has no interest in a court case, to serve a subpoena in Boca Raton, On Time Legal Services chooses to incorporate a higher standard. This standard is another way On Time Legal Services avoids delays, because even if a guard is willing to grant access for service of process in Boca Raton, they will turn away a person not on the certified process server list provided by the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court.


Whose There Call box at gate EntanceIn addition to the manned guard gated communities and condominiums there are a plethora of gated communities and condominiums with no guard on duty. Access is only granted when the dwelling occupant allows entry after a call from a call box. If, once alerted to the presence of a process server, the occupant decides not to grant access, service of process in Boca Raton, did not take place. Many process service will attempt to sneak or trespass, whereas On Time Legal Services has performed some proprietary work, although not explained in detail, has provided extra privileges over and above the typical process server, allowing On Time Legal Service to achieve valid service of process when others are turned away, in Boca Raton.


Even though On Time Legal Service is able to get on the property or inside the building, there are still more hurdles to jump. In Boca Raton, FL, there is another requirement for obtaining service of process, the description of the person served. In most of Florida, if a process server knows someone is home, but not answering the door, the process server may drop serve after reading the summons, subpoena, or other legal documents aloud. Florida courts have routinely held this service would be valid and a person cannot evade service in such a way, whereas they would have been served had they simply opened the door. However Boca Raton, FL would not allow service of process in this manner because a physical description of the individual avoiding service was not achieved.


In addition to notifying a person of an action against them, service of process is about ensuring proper due process. The Constitution of the United States guarantees every citizen the right of Due Process. Boca Raton, FL does more than most to ensure the citizens of their city are given this important right when an action is brought against them. Many process servers complain about the extra tests required to achieve service. On Time Legal Services embraces this protection and looks for ways to achieve results regardless of the obstacles in their path. The additional challenges the city of Boca Raton presents when attempting to serve process make it more difficult for all process servers to do their job.


Whether a person is willfully attempting to evade service of process in Boca Raton, using the environment around them as an impenetrable shield, or making sure they are not seen by the process server, On Time Legal Services will get results. On Time Legal Service takes service personally and regardless of the reason, On Time Legal Services will do everything possible to obtain service of process in Boca Raton. Most process servers try. On Time Legal Services does not rest until service of process is completed. An Attorney and their client have spent so much time and energy just to get the legal process going, and On Time Legal Service is there to make sure their efforts are rewarded.
