Every process server will have a day where he is put thought the great chipper and shredder of life.  You will encounter scores of people who do not want to get served. But anyone you’ve served, no matter how rude and dangerous, is not the fault of a lawyer or client who tries to call you.

Try to put yourself in the clients shoes.  He or she is stressed out of his or her shoes because they have clients to answer to.  Things have to be just so, or the defendant gets off on a technicality.  One of those technicalities is the right person being served the right court papers at the right time.  That is where we make a big difference.  Not only do we have to provide a physical description of the person you served, but we may have to testify to a judge’s satisfaction that we served the right person the proper papers.  The defendant may deny ever being served, and it is up to we to convince the judge that the defendant was in fact served.

A lot of power of the clients winning a case rests on the process server.  So therefore, the client is going to be nervous about us.  To them, we are a stranger who took a lot of money in advance of getting the job done right.  Try to treat the client calling or faxing us with as much courtesy as we would like to be given to us.
