Served 123 vs. the rest
When a defendant dodges, a lot of servers stop. We keep going.

Six things decide who you hire. Here’s how we handle each one.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How fast can you serve?
Pick the speed your matter needs. We run Same-Day and Next-Day rush tiers for true deadlines, with Preferred and Routine windows for everything else. Those windows run to the first attempt, not to completion — a subject who is out of town moves the finish line, not our dispatch. You’ll see the window in writing before work begins, and every attempt as it happens.
What if the defendant is dodging service?
That’s where we earn our keep. We skip trace to a current address, re-attempt at varied days and times, and — when personal service won’t land — pivot to the statute-correct alternative for that jurisdiction, with the documented diligence a court looks for when service is challenged.
Do you serve in other states — or other countries?
All 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Out-of-state subpoenas are domesticated under the UIDDA and served in the witness’s home state. For documents headed overseas, we handle Hague Convention service and, for non-Hague countries, embassy or consular legalization.
What do I get when service is complete?
A court-ready affidavit, formatted to your court’s requirements, backed by time-stamped, address-verified attempts and a documented record of diligence — the record you want in hand if service is ever challenged. If the subject can’t be reached, you still receive a filable affidavit of non-service.
How does pricing work, and how do I start?
It’s quote-driven and obligation-free. Send your documents and the details, we scope the matter and send a written quote, and work begins once you approve and pay. Court and agency fees are passed through at cost and itemized — no padded line items, no surprises.
Can you handle more than the serve?
Yes — locate, serve, file, retrieve, notarize, and authenticate, all under one roof. Filings go through the court’s required channel, electronic or in person at the counter. Records come from the docket or a field agent at the clerk’s window, certified or exemplified to whatever your matter needs.
Are you a law firm?
No. Served 123 LLC is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We execute what you instruct — service, filing, retrieval, notarization, authentication — and leave strategy, deadlines, and rule compliance to your counsel.
