Our standard local process service fee is $50.00 for most metropolitan-area cases, and our standard nationwide process service fee is $100.00 in most cases. If you have a unique assignment, rush need, or difficult serve, contact us for a custom quote.

Our process servers make attempts during the times most likely to result in successful service. Residential service is often attempted during mornings, evenings, and weekends when a subject is more likely to be home. If you have information about the best time to attempt service, let us know and we will use that information to guide our efforts.

Yes. After service is completed, the court should be notified by filing the Affidavit of Service. Sentinel provides you with a PDF copy of the completed return, and a hard copy can also be mailed to you. Because we do not have direct login access to every court system, the document is typically filed by the client or the client’s office with the clerk.

Our Affidavit of Diligence provides detailed documentation of the service efforts made by the process server. It may include attempt history, service notes, and supporting information gathered during the course of the assignment. This can be helpful when additional proof of effort is needed.

We make it easy to stay updated on your case. You can check the status of your assignment by:

Sentinel’s services are designed for anyone who needs professional process service or legal support. Our clients include attorneys, landlords, collection companies, businesses, government agencies, legal professionals, and members of the general public.

If the subject cannot be located for service, additional options may be available depending on the court and the type of case, including service by publication where permitted. In many cases, the court will require proof that a diligent effort was made to locate and serve the individual. That is where using a professional process server can be especially important. We also offer skip tracing services to help locate hard-to-find individuals.

Turnaround time depends on the type of service requested, the location, and the circumstances of the assignment. Sentinel offers the following service levels:

• Routine Service – first attempt within 48 hours: $50.00
• Rush Service – first attempt within 24 hours: $75.00
• Same-Day Service – first attempt made the same day: $100.00

If timing is critical, let us know and we will discuss the best service option for your assignment.

Service laws vary by state and by the type of case. In some situations, service may be made on another qualified person at a valid address, such as an adult family member or another appropriate resident, if permitted by law. When necessary, the court may also authorize alternative methods of service. We follow the applicable rules for each assignment.

Yes. Sentinel offers straightforward flat-rate pricing designed to be fair, transparent, and cost-effective.
