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 Richmond order is worked
After intake review, a registered process server takes the assignment with the address details — slip number for marina or port-tenant addresses, suite or floor number for office tenants, unit number for residences. Each visit is added to the account with what was observed at the door, gate, or reception.

Why Choose On-Call for Process Serving in Richmond, CA
Same-Day Attempts
Same-day handling can be requested when scheduling allows.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Each serve runs at a quoted flat rate. Add-ons such as rush, stakeout, and skip tracing show as separate line items.
Stakeout Coverage
A stakeout block can be reserved at order time so the server holds at the address through a planned window.
Address Review
Address details can be reviewed before a server is sent when the data is unclear.
Online Proof of Service
The signed proof of service is delivered through your account once finalized.
Tough-to-Reach Recipients
For an evasive recipient, attempt windows shift across days and times, and what shapes the number of service attempts is exactly that pattern. A stakeout window can be added when avoidance is consistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are civil cases from Richmond filed?
Civil cases from Richmond typically route through the Contra Costa County Superior Court. Specific courthouse routing depends on the case type and is confirmed at filing.
Can a server reach the Port of Richmond?
The Port of Richmond is a working commercial port with multiple tenants. Serving a recipient at a port-tenant workplace typically requires the recipient’s department, hours, and any access information at intake.
Can a server work near the Rosie the Riveter Memorial?
The Rosie the Riveter / WWII Home Front National Historical Park preserves portions of the former Kaiser Shipyards as a federal park. Public-facing visitor areas are accessible during posted hours; service to a specific recipient typically requires a residential or business address.
Can a server work along the MacDonald Avenue corridor?
Yes. MacDonald Avenue is a primary commercial corridor through Richmond with public sidewalks, shopping centers, and storefronts reachable during business hours.
Can language access affect service in Richmond?
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 address verification be added to a Richmond 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!
