Substitute Service
When the named party cannot be located after diligent attempts, substitute service provides a lawful alternative. Our servers deliver documents to a competent adult at the individual's usual place of residence or business, followed by mailing a copy to the last known address. We strictly comply with each state's requirements for substitute service, including the required number of prior personal service attempts and follow-up mailing procedures.
Key Features
- Compliance with state-specific substitute service rules
- Detailed log of all prior attempts
- Certified mail follow-up
