Why are we the only company that serves documents in uniform? We at Scott’s Attorney Service believe that the uniform gives our process servers a more professional appearance. We don’t stoop to tricks and gimmicks to get your documents served. Process Server Companies who use the pretext of delivering flowers or dressing like repairmen to get documents served display a lack of professionalism. If they are being dishonest about their reason for being at a particular location, what else are they not being honest about? By being in uniform, it helps our process servers gain access to hard to serve locations.
Police agencies prefer process servers to be in uniform as well. The uniform serves as a means of identification, so local police have fewer “suspicious person” and “trespassing” calls to answer, and thereby fewer negative contacts with police [Penal Code 243 (c)(1)] & [Title 18, Part I, Chapter 73, § 1501].
Currently, Scott’s Attorney Service is working with state and local politicians on a bill that would establish a statewide standard of training for, and regulation of, process servers. As it stands now, all a person has to do to be a process server is (1) put up a bond, (2) get fingerprinted and (3) pay a fee to the county and the county recorder’s office grants them a process server’s license. Currently, they do not have to know anything about the C.C.P. (California Civil Procedure) codes that govern how court documents are served. We are looking to change that. What we at Scott’s Attorney Service are trying to align California’s regulations for the process server industry with other states. In other states the Judicial branch or the Sherriff’s Office license Process Servers, but only after the person has completed a training course and is able to demonstrate knowledge of due process.
