Types of Process
Process refers to the official legal documents used to notify an individual or business that they are involved in a legal proceeding. In New York City, this typically includes summonses, subpoenas, complaints, petitions, and court orders. These documents must be lawfully delivered by a licensed process server to ensure the recipient is properly informed and given the opportunity to respond. Proper service of process protects due-process rights and is a critical part of the legal system. At City Process Serving LLC, we provide reliable, compliant process service throughout NYC, ensuring every serve is completed accurately and documented according to state and city requirements.
