Rhode Island Superior Court Process
Summonses, complaints, subpoenas, and other Superior Court process served throughout Rhode Island as a nonparty adult under Rule 4(c) of the Rhode Island Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure. Based in the Providence metropolitan area, with service statewide.
Federal Process — All 50 States
Federal summons and complaint service anywhere in the United States, performed by a nonparty adult as authorized by Rule 4(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Federal matters are accepted for service in Rhode Island directly, and nationwide as travel assignments.
Out-of-State Papers
Out-of-state papers served where the issuing court's rules authorize service by a nonparty adult — including papers to be served in Massachusetts and Connecticut, Massachusetts matters in which the court specially appoints the server for the assignment, and Connecticut papers directed to an indifferent person or otherwise expressly authorized by statute.
Difficult & Evasive Serves
Subjects who evade service, keep irregular hours, or sit behind gates and gatekeepers. Attempts are made at varied times, each one documented in the written attempts log, until service is effected — or every reasonable avenue has been exhausted and reported to your firm in full.
Notice & Document Delivery
Pre-court notices — landlord-tenant notices, notices to quit, and demand notices — delivered where delivery by a private server is lawful. Confidential document courier is also available, with signature obtained on delivery.
Travel Assignments
Service assignments accepted nationwide, wherever the governing court rules authorize service by a nonparty adult. The client covers travel and a day rate; every travel assignment is quoted in full before dispatch, and eligibility is confirmed before the assignment is accepted.
On every assignment: where an address must be confirmed to complete an accepted serve, it is confirmed from lawful sources as part of that assignment — address confirmation is included with the service attempts, at no separate charge. Every completed serve includes an affidavit of service, signed before a notary the same day. See Rates for pricing and FAQ for how assignments are handled.
