​FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY – Associated Services, a nationwide process service management company, today announced that the company is partnering with the Process Server Center (PSC). PSC is a legal professional organization that has successfully developed the first platform to self-regulate the process service industry throughout the United States.


Through this partnership, Associated Services and PSC aims to:
·       Implement the nationwide certification for process servers in order to upgrade the professional quality of services provided
·      Encourage the continuous training and education among process servers to support the orderly administration of justice
·      Facilitate the administration of Pro-Server List, the only Directory of Pre-Screened and Certified Process Servers in the United States to enhance confidence in the integrity of services provided by process servers
·      Provide a hassle-free solution for legal departments of government agencies, law firms and pro se clients to find professional and reliable process servers

The process service industry has a huge market of process servers who constantly come and leave this industry. Process Servers are drawn by the ease of entry to this profession and the excitement to build their own business, all for less than 100 dollars. Self-regulation through certification, feedback incentives and a constantly updated directory of process servers is critical to ensure the consistent quality of service of process and eliminate hassles from improper service of process. PSC survey has proved that legal departments at government agencies, law firms and pro se clients will greatly benefit from advancing the training of process servers and utilizing a database that is constantly being updated to reflect the education, experience and real-time feedback for the quality of work and performance of process servers.

“We are excited to support PSC in the much needed regulation of the process service industry”, says Brani, Andreev, CEO of Associated Services. “Providing the Know-How and Pre-screening of certified process servers in order to provide legal professionals the fast and reliable access to qualified, certified, pre-screened process servers is the most exciting opportunity the process service industry has seen in a long time.”

Ultimately, Associated Services aspires to enable process servers to distinguish themselves from other process servers while providing clients with a reliable source of hiring the best process servers in the United States.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are currently about 15,000 to 20,000 process servers in the United States. Only 9 states now require initial statewide licensing for process servers and the responsibility to obtain sufficient education and training falls on each individual process server.

"Both national and state associations, like the National Association for Professional Process Servers (NAPPS) require some proof of affiliation with the process service industry for one year in order to become a member”, says Richard Farrell, Program Director at PSC. “Aimed to solve problems in service of process and upgrade the quality of process servers’ directories, we are thrilled to partner with Associated Services to bring to the industry a results-driven approach to ensure the consistent high quality of service of process. Pro-Server List incorporates both entrance and continuous education and training requirements to maintain membership. This Exclusive Directory further differentiates between certified and pre-screened process servers in order to encourage members to get relevant education and also to implement the 4Ps™ Management Model in order to sustain service of process quality in the long run”

​Most people turn to the internet when they need a product or a service. Government agencies and law firms are no exception when trying to find the best, most professional and reliable process server. They search the local area for any business listings or tap into online directories like NAPPS, Serve-Now or the Process Server Center. The task to find a process server who you trust to do the work can be daunting, and most times it may lead to a few times of trial and error in order to find the most professional process server.

Whether you are a government agency seeking to deliver support collection documents or a law firm having to serve a number of subpoenas in several states or a pro se client with a family law case, how do you find a reliable process server? What are some of the qualities to look for when you are trying to choose a process server? Is there a way to find the best process server in any zip code without the trial and error?
​

• Training

The process service industry attracts many new people from different backgrounds looking to start and grow their own business, set their own work hours and make money. The ease of entry into process service and the lack of national required training translates to many people embracing process service as a career without the proper training and education. When looking for a process server, it is imperative to select a process server who has the required training and knowledge to help you serve your legal documents. Professionals who demonstrate continuous professional development and seek to keep abreast of current law changes are most likely to handle the service of your legal documents right the first time. The Process Server Center | PSC is the first organization that has accepted the challenge to set a standard for the process service industry by creating training programs for process servers.

• Experience

When trying to find the best process server to deliver your legal documents, make sure they have enough experience serving. The more years of experience a process servers has, the more likely it is that he/she will perform to the highest standards of the legal profession. It is important to ask questions if a process server has delivered this particular type of legal documents before. Finding out what their success service rate is imperative to the outcome of your service.

• Feedback

When selecting a process server, find out if you can get a couple of references to ensure the quality of their past performance and the level of their knowledge and education. Take the time to call and talk to a few of these references and discover if this particular process server has met their expectations. Proper feedback from other lawyers or paralegals serves as a type of a ranking system and can provide you with the information you need in order to make a qualified decision when locating a process server. Business listings and online directories usually present you with a long list of process servers in a local area but leave you without a reliable way to differentiate who to select. PROServerLIST is The Process Server Center Exclusive Directory of Pre-Screened and Certified Process Servers that eliminates the guesswork when trying to find a reliable and professional process server. It is the first organization that aims to eliminate the hassle of hiring a process server by offering its client members the options of Pre-Screened and Certified process servers.

• Pricing

It is customary in the process service industry to hire mostly based on pricing. Based on feedback from law firms and government agencies, when they reach out to a process server, all they ask for is the price or service fee they charge. When you are pressed on time and have important legal documents to be served, as an attorney or paralegal you do not have the resources to fully research a long list of process servers, to ask questions as described above and then compare the results of these job interviews. Pricing is indeed important, but it should not be the defining factor in selecting one process server over another. Improper service and delays in court cases must be the primary consideration when selecting a process server.

• ​Trust
  

Perhaps the most important quality when looking for a process server in a local area is the question of trust. Can you trust that this particular process server can successfully serve your legal documents as per your instructions and the requirements of the originating court? How do you find out if you should trust? Perhaps it all comes down to a combination of the factors we described here: training, experience and feedback. If you can answer “yes” to all three of these factors, then most likely you have found the best process server to deliver your legal documents.

Next time you need to find a process server, eliminate the hassle of finding the best professional process server by joining PROServerLIST - the Exclusive Directory of Pre-Screened and Certified Process Servers at the Process Server Center.
