Pricing
Pricing is quoted per assignment because the variables that create cost are specific to the assignment: the court, the address, the defendant, and the deadline. No flat rate card, no teaser number that grows later.
A quote requires a service address, the defendant, the court or case, and any deadline.
Service options
The documentation standard is the same at every level. What changes is dispatch priority and coordination intensity.
Documented multi-attempt service with a filing-ready affidavit.
Priority dispatch and accelerated attempt scheduling.
Immediate coordination for time-critical court deadlines.
Dispatch timing does not guarantee completion. Completion depends on defendant access, address conditions, and the requirements of the issuing court.
Cost drivers
If a quote does not account for these, it is not a quote — it is a starting number.
State procedure, county practice, and the court that issued the documents. Rural service and out-of-state service are not priced like a metro assignment.
Gated communities, high-rise buildings, secured complexes, and rural routes that require a scheduled trip rather than a route stop.
Standard queue versus expedited dispatch. Rush coordination costs more because it displaces other work, not because the paperwork differs.
Multiple addresses, evasive behavior, or a history of avoided service. Difficulty is priced as additional documented work.
Affidavit format, notarization, exhibits, and the number of defendants or addresses covered by a single filing.
Included
The assignment is matched to the venue and precinct responsible for the service address before the first attempt.
Every attempt records date, time, address description, access conditions, and outcome — including non-contact attempts.
Proof is formatted for the court that issued the documents, not a generic template.
Method, timing, and documentation are checked against the governing rules before proof is returned.
Attempt results and escalation decisions are reported so deadlines and filings can be planned.
Scope
These are the reasons assignments cost more than a standard attempt. They are identified before acceptance where possible.
Approaching hearings, TROs, and statutory windows compress the schedule and add coordination cost.
Additional attempts, skip-trace coordination, and diligence packages for an alternative service motion.
Entity verification, statutory agent confirmation, and compliance with service rules for business entities.
Mass filings, eviction campaigns, and statewide service waves are quoted on volume predictability and geographic concentration.
Hague Convention routing, translation, and foreign authority coordination follow a different procedural chain entirely.
Quote
Five details are enough to scope most assignments.
Attach the documents directly to the request. They are used to confirm document type, page count, and any special service instruction.

Questions
A flat chart would have to ignore jurisdiction, access, urgency, and documentation. A quote is built from the specific assignment so the number you approve is the number you are charged.
Submit a service request with the service address, defendant information, court or case reference, and any deadline. A quote follows review of those details.
Scope is confirmed before the assignment is accepted. If a change is required mid-assignment — an added address or a new method — it is approved before it is performed.
No. Rush changes when attempts begin. Completion still depends on the defendant, the address, and the court requirements.
Quote
Nothing is dispatched until the quote is accepted. Changes to scope are approved before they are performed.
Intake is open 24/7. Requests are reviewed in the order received; urgent deadlines should be flagged by phone.
