Looking for a process server you can count on to serve your documents quickly and efficiently?
Our process servers are employees only within New Jersey unlike most process service companies. This means they’re receiving top of the line training and continuous support from our office team.
What does this mean for you?
Exceptional service, where attempts are made at various times of day until it’s apparent the subject is avoiding or the subject or business isn’t at that address.
Don’t settle for two attempts and a “not served” report. With DGR, you can rest assured every service is getting the same high level of tenacity in attempting to effectuate service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does out-of-state service typically take?
Service timelines vary by location and complexity. Most routine service in major metropolitan areas can be completed within 3-5 days. Rural locations or defendants who are difficult to locate may take longer. We provide realistic timeline estimates based on the specific jurisdiction. However, same-day rush service is always available.
Do I need to hire a different process server for each state?
No. DGR Legal coordinates service across all 50 states through our network of professional process servers. You work with one point of contact while we manage coordination nationwide.
How do state-specific service rules affect my case?
Every state has unique requirements for valid service including who can serve, acceptable service methods, and proof requirements. Our team understands these variations and ensures service complies with the specific requirements of each jurisdiction.
Can you locate a defendant if I only have an old address?
Yes. DGR Legal offers location services to locate current addresses. These require a permissible legal purpose and must be requested by law firms.
What information do you need for nationwide service?
We need complete service documents, the person’s full name and last known address, any available contact information, applicable deadlines, and specific court or client requirements. More complete information allows for more efficient service.
Do you handle service on military bases?
Service on military bases requires special procedures that vary by installation. Some bases allow civilian process servers with proper credentials, while others require coordination with base legal offices. We assess requirements for each specific base and can help you get service effectuated.
