Service of Process in Massachusetts
|
The judicial system depends on process servers to safeguard due process, the principle that no one should face legal action without fair notice. By personally delivering court documents and verifying service through sworn returns, process servers create the foundation upon which hearings, motions, and trials can lawfully continue. Their work prevents delays, protects litigants’ rights, and ensures that justice is carried out transparently and reliably.

OUT-OF-STATE DOCUMENTS TO SERVE IN MASSACHUSETTS
We can serve out‑of‑state paperwork anywhere in Massachusetts for a flat fee of $125.00. We do not charge per attempt. For example, if you need a Summons and Complaint served on someone at 123 Main Street in Worcester and it requires three attempts before it's served in-hand, your total remains $125.00—while many process servers bill for each individual attempt. The only additional cost would be for a bad or incorrect address, and that fee will not exceed $50.00.
(This pricing applies exclusively to out‑of‑state documents)
I NEED DOCUMENTS FROM MASSACHUSETTS SERVED IN ANOTHER STATE
We can streamline the process for you and ensure your legal documents are served properly through our nationwide network of process servers. The fees for serving documents in other states vary, so please send us an email for the total flat fee.
