WNY Process Service®, Buffalo & Rochester NY Process Server

What the Process of Hiring a Process Server Entails

We need a PDF of the documents for process service.
We need the targets name as well as the address to which service should be attempted. If the target has moved or you only have a p.o. box we can work with you in some circumstances to do what is commonly referred to as "skip-trace" or attempting to locate their location for the purposes of service of process for an additional fee. Email us for more information.
The more information you can provide in the body of the email with the documents for service the more efficiently and promptly will will be able to execute service. Often, little is known about a target. However, we welcome any relevant information you can provide us such as: physical description, schedule, other members of the household, age, vehicles driven animals on the premises etc.
It is always best to get the documents to the process server promptly. All legal documents have different requirements as far as how many attempts must be made, when the attempts must be made as well as the manner of service required by law. Delay in getting the documents to the server could result in extra rush fees. The sooner we have your documents for service the less cost for you as well as the greater likelihood we will be able to successfully serve the target in accordance to the law.

To initiate a request for service of process either complete the online job order OR email the PDF of the documents for service to service@wnyprocess.com. Thereafter, you will receive an email back acknowledging receipt.

We will then review your documents. (If submitted by email pdf we will email you an invoice which you can securely pay-online using a provided link. Once payment has been remitted another email will be sent by us outlining that the file has been prepared and entered into the service rotation).

WNY weather and current volume will dictate the speed of which the first attempt will begin.

If you have a statutory deadline and require RUSH service additional fees may apply.

You will receive an emails from the field when the process server has made any attempts and or has served your document(s).

Once process service is completed another email will be generated with a draft of the Affirmation of Service (AOS) which will be returned to you by e-mail. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that you file the Affirmation of Service with the appropriate Court.
