- Florida Summons and Complaints
-
- All Florida Summons and Complaints originating from Florida must
be served by a process server appointed in that district. We will serve all
Duval County, (Jacksonville), and Saint Johns County (Ponte Vedra, Saint
Augustine) Florida, service of process. You must send us the original summons
or order which will be returned to you or a notarized TRUE COPY and a copy of
the papers to be served. We are not permitted by law to serve FAX copies of a
summons.

Out of State Summons and Complaints
-
- We are experienced serving process from other States. We follow the
rules of the State of origination when applicable.
We follow your instructions always.
-
- Since all states have different rules, we request you advise us in your
cover letter whether the ORIGINAL summons must be served, or
the COPY. We also will need to know if SUBSTITUTE SERVICE on an appropriate
age individual living within is acceptable (personal service). If not,
your letter must state that ONLY the defendant may be served and no one
else. When serving a corporation, we strive to get the
registered agent or a corporate officer. Some corporations have
a designated person to accept the papers. You must enclose your information
so that we may contact you about the progress of your job.

Subpoenas
-
- We serve subpoenas from any State anywhere in our local area. If your subpoena
originates outside of Florida and you are requesting
documents within the State of Florida, your foreign Subpoena Duces Tecum will require
domestication in order to be valid. Our office is experienced in
domesticating your out of State subpoena so that it is valid within the
State of Florida. Please be advised that some larger corporations refuse to
accept subpoenas that are not issued from the Florida courts and so
domestication is the only way to get your documents. In order for
us to domesticate your subpoena, please send us the original copy or
certified copy of the LETTERS OF COMMISSION OF
SUBPOENA, or (LETTERS ROGATORY), your ORIGINAL SUBPOENAS (3 copies) that is
unsigned by an attorney or court - the Duval Court clerk will sign and date
it at the bottom, and the original NOTICE OF TAKING SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM. We
also require a Commission to appoint outside process server by the judge in
your jurisdiction. In addition to
our fee, please enclose a check made out to the Clerk of the Court for
$2.00. Our fee for the Subpoena Domestication package is
$150.00.

Evictions for Pro-Se Landlords
We have an eviction package to
help you with the process. We do everything for you. This includes the following services for one
lump sum fee:
- Post the 3 day notice and prepare and affidavit.
- File the Summons and Complaint (we will need 3 copies of the summons and
3 copies of the complaint). You will provide the filing fees. If
you have already done these steps, then mail us the original and true copy
of the summons and two copies of the complaint (one to serve, one file
copy). You must attach the lease rental agreement and the names on the
complaint must match the names on the lease and the affidavit of the 3 day
notice. Provide us with a stamped addressed envelope for each tenant
on the list - in addition to being served, the Clerk will mail your tenants
a copy of the eviction papers (required).
- Note that you should have paid for and received two summons, one for the
Eviction (a five day summons) and one for the damages (past due rent 20 day
summons). We can post the eviction summons but we cannot post the
summons for damages. If you only order and pay for one summons from
the clerk, then we can not post at all and must make attempts to serve your
tenants. They will now have 20 days to answer instead of 5 days.
Do not forget to get two summons as this will expedite your claim.
- We will serve your Eviction papers on an expedited basis, 1-2 days from
day of receipt. We will post the summons for eviction within 1-2 days
if you have a separate summons, and then attempt to serve the summons for
damages or will attempt to serve the summons for eviction and damages within
1-2 days and keep making attempts until it is served.
- We will prepare the affidavit of service.
- We will file the affidavit of service and the original summons with the
court, and return the date/stamped file copy to you.
- We will file your Motion for Default and Request for Final Judgment with
the Court. We will provide you with the blank forms for you to fill
out and sign. You must provide one addressed stamped envelope for each
tenant.
- We will docket the Final Judgment. You will provide the filing
fee.
Eviction Package : $200.00
- Once you have obtained your final judgment, we will file your Writ of
Possession. We will provide you with the blank Writ form for you to
fill out and a Sheriff's Information Sheet which you will need to fill out.
You will provide the fees for the Writ via a money order.
- If you cannot appear at the actual eviction, we will provide you with a
form which you will fill out. This form will give us one day Power of
Attorney and designate us as the person to meet with the sheriff and take
possession of your house. We will need a key.
- We will meet with the sheriff when the sheriff commands us to be there.
This is done at the sheriff's schedule and we usually get short to no notice
so we have to be on "standby" and be able to mobilize on the day and time of
the actual removal of the tenants.
- We will ensure that all the lights and water are off and we will have
your locks re-keyed and provide you with new keys. We will secure your
home before we leave and mail the new key to you.

$350.00
