Understanding the Cost of Process Serving
Hiring a process server is an essential step in many legal proceedings, ensuring that all parties involved are properly notified of legal actions. The cost of hiring a process server can vary widely based on several factors such as location, urgency, and the difficulty of service. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the typical rates for process serving services range as follows:
Standard Service: $260 to $500 per attempt
Rush Service: $395 to $695 per attempt
Same-Day Service: $595 to $700 per attempt
Skip Tracing Services: $416
Additional Fees: Costs for notarization, and affidavits of service could apply, but not always apply.
While these rates give a general idea, it's important to understand that not all process servers offer the same level of service.
