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!!

How a Palo Alto order is worked
After intake review, a registered process server takes the assignment with the address details from intake — building name, suite or floor, recipient department, and any reception or visitor procedures. Each visit is documented in the account, and the proof of service is finalized through the same account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are civil cases from Palo Alto filed?
Civil cases from Palo Alto typically route through the Santa Clara County Superior Court. Specific courthouse routing depends on the case type and is confirmed at filing.
How does service work at a Palo Alto multi-tenant office building?
Multi-tenant buildings rely on lobby reception and the directory, so when a recipient is served at their office, details matter. Building name, suite or floor number, and the recipient’s department at intake direct the server quickly, and visit notes capture what was observed at reception.
What information speeds up a Palo Alto order?
A clean recipient name, the full address with suite or floor, the recipient’s department or company, and any access notes such as visitor procedures or reception hours.
What if a recipient is hard to reach during business hours?
Attempt windows shift across mornings, evenings, and weekends. A stakeout window can be added when the recipient’s pattern is established.
How is the proof of service delivered?
The signed proof of service is posted to your account as a downloadable PDF when the order is finalized. Filing copies are organized per case.
Can address verification be added to a Palo Alto order?
Yes. Address verification can be added before the assignment goes out when the address is uncertain. The check covers public records and the result is logged to the order.
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!
