Quick and Trustworthy Process Serving Services

Every Kind of Process Serving

As the service of due process is a constitutional privilege, every U.S. citizen has a right to be informed about being summoned to court. Process servers thereby act as messengers of the judicial system to notify citizens across the nation of their right to due process by “serving” legally issued notifications, in a timely manner.

Historically, sheriffs have played this role but as the nation grew, it was clear that sheriffs alone could not serve every legal notification document, which is what a professional process server does! Our New Bern, NC process servers at Grimes’ Bail Bonding & Notary Services serve legal documents to any person involved in a court case, then deliver evidence back to the source of those documents that they were served. This proof is called an affidavit of service, which is notarized, and delivered back promptly.

The role of a process server is a constitutional enforcer of the due process of law throughout the United States. A court can only rule on a case properly if all legal papers are served properly and with valid proof of delivery. Without the proper delivery or on shaky certainty that they were delivered at all can cause an entire case to be thrown out of court. This makes the role of Grimes’ Bail Bonding notaries and public servers a wonderful combination to ensure the law is followed to the T for the sake of every citizen and every court procedure.
