FAQ

Our process servers and investigators work throughout the state of Michigan!

Yes we are licensed, bonded and insured as process servers and private investigators throughout the state of Michigan!

We have a network of process servers outside the state of Michigan that can attempt to serve your documents.

Urban Serving, LLC provides our clients with what they demand: convenient, transparent, dependable, and compliant legal support services that are customized to meet their unique needs.

We will attempt to serve any document that you want served to someone or someplace (like a business), regardless if it has been issued by a court or not. From a small claims case to an income tax garnishment, we can attempt to perfect service of your documents.

Please schedule a meeting with one of our account representatives so we can find out exactly what your needs are. Too many times we have heard that other process servers in Michigan keep dropping the ball! Then they throw money at the problems they create trying to make them go away. Why would you choose a process serving company that constantly sweeps everything under the rug? We don’t have any rugs here and we are completely transparent. Lets talk so you can establish some real expectations of our services that we have to offer.

We have heard of this, and it is not statutory. The service and mileage fees are regulated by state statutes in Michigan. If your current process server or court officer is charging less than state statutes, you should ask yourself, what are they cutting corners on?

Every set of documents are different and unique, just like a Michigan snowflake in April! Please call or e-mail our office for a quote, one of our friendly case managers would love to hear from you!

We have heard of this too, and again this is not statutory. Your Michigan process server should be only charging one attempt fee for each unique address that they try to serve your documents at.

Absolutely not! Most if not all of the courts in Michigan require at least 3 attempts: a morning, night, and a weekend attempt. These attempts show the court that we have made the required effort to serve the documents to your defendant.

Well how long is a piece of string? Again, every set of documents are different and unique, and we cannot put silly time constraints on them. Rest assured that every attempt will be exhausted when we try to serve your documents.

Our office can set up a e-mail alert, notifying you when your documents have been served, or we can provide you a user login to our secure portal, so you can check there as well. You can also call our office and talk one on one with our friendly case managers for status updates.

Yes, this is a thing! On most set of documents a picture can be taken with each attempt. Also, a picture can be taken if and when your defendant was served. Give us a call and ask one of our friendly case managers today about this service.

Depending on the type of documents, you can ask the court for more time to try to get your defendant served. You can also ask the court if we can perfect service by alternate means.

If your type of document has a case number, we might be able to help you find your defendant. This process is called skip tracing, and a licensed Michigan investigator can legally search for your defendant . Ask one of our friendly case managers today about this service.

All of our Michigan process servers have been vetted and take classes on process serving. With Geo-tagged pictures we can prove that your defendant was not only served, but when and where as well. If Geo-tagged pictures are not an option when the process server is out in the field, we can also use GPS to pinpoint the location of service. If your defendant asks a judge for a hearing, we can and will be standing firm in your corner to exemplify the fact that the service of process was perfected.

Secure Document trading is a way you can seamlessly give us your documents for service. You don’t have to wait on the slow postal service, or a court runner to drop by and disrupt productivity in your office. This file transfer is also safer than un-encrypted email. Ask one of our friendly case managers today how to easily transfer us your documents.
