Qualities to Look for in a Process Server

Published September 15, 2021 | By Accurate Serve Denver

Using a credible process server in Colorado is highly recommended. While the state’s laws about who can be a process server are fairly lenient, if you use an illegitimate process server, any service provided will be invalid and your case might even get thrown out. Make sure any process server you use checks off all of the following boxes:

Meets State Requirements

While Colorado doesn’t require certification or training for process servers like some other states do, there are two basic requirements. To serve process in Colorado you must:

Be 18 years old or older
Not be directly involved with any case being served

Sheriff’s deputies are also allowed to serve process in Colorado.

Knowledgeable

Reputable process servers are very knowledgeable about laws and current trends related to process serving in their location. Red flags that you’re dealing with an illegitimate process server include:

They wear a disguise or lie about their identity while serving process
They give process recipients advice about their cases
They threaten or try to intimidate process recipients
They engage in illegal activities while serving, such as breaking and entering

Don’t risk giving the defendant grounds for dismissal because you used an inept process server. All of our servers at Accurate Serve in Denver have the know-how to handle your case legally, efficiently, and with integrity.

Experience

As with any industry, experience teaches more than anything else. Always ask about experience and professional references before hiring a process server. If the references don’t check out, consider using a different server.
