For attorneys, paralegals, and legal teams

Process Serving for Law Firms

A direct, detail-conscious workflow for litigation teams sending assignments to Downtown Los Angeles offices.

Intake checklist

What to send with the assignment.

Providing complete instructions at intake helps avoid preventable questions and location assumptions.

  • Complete documents for service, including all pages and exhibits
  • Case caption and court or matter information
  • Target person, entity, or department
  • Intended legal recipient or authorized person, if your instructions identify one
  • Requested address, room, mail stop, or public counter information
  • Deadline, priority, and any timing constraints
  • Client-specific service, reporting, or proof instructions
  • Best contact for assignment questions

Working relationship

Direct communication from instruction review through proof return.

Assignment review

We check the documents and instructions against the requested location before dispatch and raise material questions directly.

Status reporting

Updates communicate relevant assignment activity in plain terms so your team can assess next steps.

Proof return

Completed proof materials are returned for your file after the service activity is documented.

Downtown office assignments

Recipient-sensitive service planning.

Government buildings can contain multiple departments, public counters, legal units, and controlled-access areas. The public address alone may not identify the legally correct recipient or acceptance procedure. Your instructions and the governing documents remain central to the assignment.
