Frequently Asked Questions
What is a process server?
A process server is a registered professional who delivers legal documents—summonses, complaints, subpoenas, divorce papers, eviction notices, restraining orders—to notify individuals of their involvement in a court case. In California, anyone serving process for compensation must be registered with the county clerk under B&P Code §22350.
Can a good process server help your legal practice?
Absolutely. A reliable process serving partner handles the logistics of service, filing, and documentation—freeing attorneys to focus on case strategy. For Pasadena firms managing cases at the Pasadena Courthouse on Walnut Street, having a single provider who knows the jurisdiction is essential.
How long does a Pasadena process server have to serve papers?
California law does not set a fixed number of days for completion, but the plaintiff is responsible for meeting court-imposed deadlines. On-Call Legal guarantees a first attempt within 48–72 hours in Los Angeles County, with rush same-day options available for urgent matters.
What happens if a Pasadena process server can’t serve you?
After documenting reasonable diligence—typically three or more attempts at varying times—our server can pursue substituted service under CCP §415.20, leaving documents with a competent household member and mailing a copy. If the defendant cannot be located, we offer skip tracing and can assist with service by publication under CCP §415.50. It is always in the defendant’s best interest to accept service so they can properly defend themselves.
How late can a process server come to your home?
In California, process servers can legally attempt service at any reasonable hour. While there is no statutory restriction, courts may scrutinize very early morning or late night attempts. On-Call Legal’s Pasadena servers typically attempt service between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
How much does a Pasadena process server cost?
Standard process serving in Los Angeles County starts at competitive flat rates with no hidden surcharges. Pricing varies based on urgency (standard vs. rush/same-day), location, and whether skip tracing or stakeout services are needed. Contact us at (310) 858-9800 for a quote.
What time can a process server serve papers in Pasadena, CA?
California does not impose strict time-of-day restrictions on service of process. However, serving at unreasonable hours could be challenged. Our Pasadena process servers make attempts during standard business and evening hours to maintain defensible service records.
How long should a process server take to serve someone in Pasadena?
On-Call Legal guarantees a first attempt within 48–72 hours for Pasadena assignments. Most routine services are completed within 3–5 days. Complex cases involving evasive defendants or difficult-access locations may require additional attempts or skip tracing. The turnaround time can also be determined by the person placing the order for service.
