Serve legal documents anywhere in Louisiana with confidence. Served 123 LLC coordinates sheriffs and court-appointed private process servers across all 64 Louisiana parishes — from New Orleans through Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and Lake Charles — delivering same-day service, properly endorsed returns under the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and results that hold up in any Louisiana district court.
Louisiana is the only U.S. state with a civil-law tradition rooted in the French and Spanish codes, and its procedural vocabulary reflects that history. Under La. C.C.P. art. 1291 and R.S. 13:3204, service of process is traditionally made by the sheriff of the parish where service is effected. Louisiana also permits service by a private process server appointed by the court under La. C.C.P. art. 1293. Served 123 LLC coordinates with both sheriffs and court-appointed private servers across every parish.
Louisiana distinguishes between two primary methods on individuals. Personal service under La. C.C.P. art. 1232 requires handing the citation directly to the defendant. Domiciliary service under La. C.C.P. art. 1234 is what other states call "substituted service" — leaving a copy of the citation and petition at the defendant's domicile in the hands of a person of suitable age and discretion residing therein. Note the Louisiana terminology: "citation" not "summons," "domicile" not "dwelling." Corporate service is under art. 1261. The Long-Arm Statute at R.S. 13:3201–3207 governs service on nonresidents.
Out-of-state counsel sometimes stumble on Louisiana's civil-law terminology or miss that New Orleans has a Civil Sheriff distinct from the Criminal Sheriff. Served 123 LLC routes Orleans Parish civil process to the Civil Sheriff; statewide, we use parish sheriffs for routine cases and court-appointed private servers for rush. Every return we file uses proper Louisiana citation-and-return endorsement.
