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!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are civil cases from San Rafael filed?
Civil cases from San Rafael typically route through the Marin County Superior Court. Specific courthouse routing depends on the case type and is confirmed at filing.
Can language access affect service in San Rafael?
Language can affect communication during an attempt, but the server’s role is to identify the recipient and deliver the documents according to California service rules. Add any language or recipient-identification notes at order intake.
Can a server enter the Marin Civic Center?
Yes. The Marin Civic Center includes public buildings accessible during normal business hours. Service to a specific employee in non-public offices may require a department check-in at the building’s reception.
How is service handled at a houseboat or non-traditional dwelling?
A houseboat or other dwelling that’s the recipient’s regular residence can be served at that location. The server documents the slip, dock, or address details at the visit.
Reaching a recipient in the Canal District or on a Marin houseboat takes an in-person attempt at the dock or unit, not a quick call. People still ask whether a phone call can stand in for delivery, and the answer shapes how a subpoena gets served. See whether you can be served a subpoena over the phone before counting on anything but a personal serve.
Can address verification be added to a San Rafael 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!
