Poorest example of legal process servers I’ve EVER seen in 30 years of legal work. On top of it they’re crooks and illegally charged my card without my permission. I had used when originally hiring them 5 months prior. If ZERO stars was an option I would have selected it!!

Process serving in Novato
Quick answer
Venue for Novato is the Marin County Superior Court. Orders are worked across the whole city, including addresses along Redwood Boulevard. What the server saw at each visit is written up and filed with the proof. Access details supplied at intake — unit number, gate code, suite — are what get a server to the door.
Order placement, status, and the signed proof of service all live in your On-Call Legal account. The order goes in once at intake; from there, dispatch reviews the address and assigns a registered process server. The first attempt follows the requested service tier, with subsequent attempts added to the account as needed. The proof of service is finalized for the matter when service is complete.

How a Novato order is worked
The order’s address and document type are reviewed at intake, and the assignment routes to a registered process server. Each visit is added to the account with the server’s notes from the door — what was observed, who was contacted, and the outcome of the attempt. Once the matter resolves, the proof of service is finalized for the appropriate court.

Why Choose On-Call for Process Serving in Novato, CA
Same-Day Requests
Same-day handling can be requested at order time. Whether it fits depends on order timing and the recipient address.
Flat-Rate Pricing
The standard service rate is shown at order entry. Add-ons such as rush, stakeout, and skip tracing carry line-item pricing visible at intake.
Address Verification
Address verification can be added before the assignment goes out when the address is uncertain.
Stakeout Coverage
A stakeout window can be added at order time. The server holds at the address through the chosen block when the recipient’s schedule warrants it.
Online Proof Access
The signed proof is posted to your account as a downloadable PDF when finalized.
Attempt Notes
Each visit is added to the order with date, time, and the server’s observation.
Court Filing Support
Filing of the proof of service can be added with the appropriate court when the matter calls for it.
Difficult Recipients
For a recipient who avoids service, attempt windows shift across days and times. A stakeout window can be added when a consistent pattern of avoidance shows up.
When a Novato recipient stays out of reach after several attempts, California law lets the documents be left with a competent adult at the home or workplace, then mailed to the same address. This comes up at hillside parcels with long driveways, where catching someone at the door takes time. Our overview of how substitute service works in California explains when a server can use it.

Civil filings from Novato typically route through the Marin County Superior Court. Specific courthouse routing depends on the case type and is confirmed at filing.

I had an exceptional experience with On-Call Legal Process Servers. They were incredibly reliable and efficient, especially when I needed rush service over the weekend. Their website was very user-friendly, providing clear fee information, and their outstanding customer service further boosted my confidence in their services, which made them an easy choice out of the many process server companies I looked into. Thanks to their prompt delivery, the served party contacted me shortly afterward to settle the case. Given their extensive coverage beyond Los Angeles, I plan to use them again soon for a small claims case in Riverside County.
I had to file a Writ of Review with the California Court of Appeal. I contact several services for assistances most were not interested and others didn't provide the services I needed. I called On-Call Legal Process Servers and spoke to one of their staff. The staff member gave me a list of services they provide everything from a small claims court, to Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court. They will assist you in the filing all court documents and proof of service. To get start with On-Call Legal Process Servers and more an account has to be opened online. Before charges can be posted to the account an Email is sent out listing the proposed charges. The staff returns Email questions and orders during their normal business hours during the same day. On-Call Legal Process Servers file the writ for me and obtain the filing court's case number.
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to On-Call Legal through a family friend for services of process. Not only were the owners Brandon & David incredibly kind, but their process servers were professional, fast and affordable. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.
On-Call was absolutely AMAZING! Our trial team at Brown Goldstein & Levy flew into LA for a USDC trial from Baltimore. From first contact, On-Call was professional, prompt & handled everything we threw at them from exhibit binders for the Court and parties, to delivery to Court to meet our 8:30 am filing deadline! David A & his team handled everything! Looking forward to working with them again!
