The highly qualified process servers at Wasatch Constables can meet and exceed your important deadlines for the delivery of legal documents, and have proved it with several decades of combined experience working as fully empowered police officers.

Process service is the industry term for delivery of legal documents to which the subject of the delivery is entitled. These court documents can include notification for a defendant that a lawsuit has been filed against them, including instances of divorce, requests to change child custody arrangements, proceedings in a will or trust case and standard requests for relief or summary judgment, among others.

In the St. George area, state level cases are handled in the Fifth District Court in Washington County, located at 206 West Tabernacle in St. George. Most cases that go through this court require process serving as the case begins, but later attorneys take over the legal requirements to share documents between themselves by way of certified mail or courier.

For district court cases, ask your attorney when the deadline is for process service in your case. The administrative rules of the court require different service times for different kinds of cases, and case law changes the rules even more, so it’s important to get the advice of a legal professional.

Cases that involve low dollar amounts, also known as small claims cases, go through the justice courts of each municipality. It’s important to note that these cases must be filed with the city in which the issue originated, even if, for example, the landlord lives in another state. For such cases, the plaintiff (the person filing the claim) must notify the defendant through a process server within 30 days. Thereafter, documents can be shared via first class mail but must be sent within 10 days of being filed in court.

In St. George, justice court cases and small claims cases go through the Washington County Justice Court located on the third floor of the building at 87 North 200 East in St. George.

State and federal law require timely process service as a means of due process, a right protected by the Fifth Amendment and Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The idea is that if a person is being sued, he or she has a right to know about it and should be given enough time to respond before the case moves forward.

The rules are similar for civil process service and criminal process service, but in criminal cases actions that can meet these requirements include everything from receipts for traffic tickets to arrest and arraignment or even notification of grand jury proceedings.
