When you are dealing with the legal system in Miami Dade County, the “service of process” is the critical bridge between filing a case and moving it forward. At Golden Process Service, we specialize in ensuring that your legal documents are delivered in strict accordance with the 11th Judicial Circuit requirements and Florida Statutes.
Below is a detailed breakdown of our process server services designed for your landing page.
What are Process Server Services?
Process server services involve the formal delivery of legal documents to a defendant, witness, or entity. This is not just a delivery; it is a constitutional requirement of “due process.” It ensures that all parties are officially notified of legal actions against them, providing them the opportunity to respond as required by law.
In Miami-Dade County, improper service can lead to case dismissals, delayed hearings, and increased legal costs. Golden Process Service mitigates these risks by providing professional, certified, and timely service.
Core Services for Legal Documents
We handle a wide range of “non-enforceable” civil processes, including but not limited to:
Summons & Complaints: Initiating lawsuits for civil, family, and probate cases.
Subpoenas: Compelling witnesses to testify or produce documents (Duces Tecum).
Eviction Notices: Serving 3-day or 7-day notices and Tenant Eviction Summons.
Writs of Garnishment: Notifying employers or banks of court-ordered withholdings.
Petitions for Dissolution of Marriage: Ensuring sensitive family law matters are handled with discretion.
Domestic Violence Injunctions: High-priority, time-sensitive delivery of protective orders.
Ensuring Court Compliance in Miami-Dade
Navigating the local rules of the 11th Judicial Circuit requires precision. We ensure compliance through:
1. Adherence to Florida Statute Chapter 48
We follow the strict guidelines of §48.031, which dictates how personal and substituted service must be executed. Whether it is serving an individual at their “usual place of abode” or an authorized agent of a corporation, our team knows the nuances of the law.
2. Certified & Bonded Professionals
Our servers are Court-Certified or Sheriff-Appointed in Miami-Dade County. This means they have passed background checks, completed mandatory training, and maintain a $5,000 performance bond as required by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
3. Valid Returns of Service (Affidavits)
Once service is complete, we provide a “Return of Service”—a sworn affidavit that serves as prima facie evidence of delivery. We include all mandatory details:
Date and time of service.
The name of the individual served.
The server’s identification number and signature.
Manner of service (Personal, Substituted, or Corporate).
4. Skip Tracing & Evasive Subjects
If a recipient is avoiding service, we utilize advanced skip tracing tools and investigative techniques to locate them within Miami-Dade or beyond, ensuring your case doesn’t stall due to a “bad address.”
