Services
Standard or rush. Same affidavit standard.
Pick the speed your deadline needs. Both options return a court-ready affidavit formatted to Ohio Civ. R. 4.1, with the same GPS-stamped photo log and the same notarization.
Rush service
Priority dispatch with first attempt within 24 to 72 hours. For deadlines you cannot move, eviction-calendar dates, and TRO matters. Same affidavit standard and same notarization.
Proof of service
Every order returns a court-ready affidavit.
Process serving fails in two places: at the door, and at the clerk's desk. We document the door so the clerk's desk goes smoothly. Motions move on schedule and the docket does not slip.
- Notarized affidavit of service, formatted to Ohio Civ. R. 4.1
- GPS-stamped photo log of every attempt
- Time-stamped courthouse return when applicable
- Diligence affidavit if service fails after multiple attempts
