SERVICE OF PROCESS



GREATER METRO ATLANTA

MLQ has designed a service of process and skip tracing platform that maximizes the probability of civil papers being served in the most expeditious and cost-effective fashion. We emphasize the following:

  • Adherence to local statutes
  • Knowledgeable, professional process servers
  • Quick turnaround times
  • Highly successful service rates
  • Emphasis on technology to verify process server performance
  • Competitive pricing
  • Where desired, higher quality skips versus inaccurate database searches

TECHNOLOGY

Each MLQ process server utilizes a smart phone/PDA to capture the photo of the servee property, GPS coordinate of that photo, and date and time stamp etched on the photo itself. In addition, the process server inputs all service information from the property including service results and physical description of servee. That information is organized per job order and becomes immediately available to our clients through the MLQ client web interface.

As a result of alleged "gutter serves" in the state of New York, process servers have been under the spotlight of state attorneys' general across the country. Recognizing the liability and negative press that can flow from unscrupulous service practices, MLQ has enhanced technology to prove the validity of service attempts.

MLQ also offers an audio recording of every service attempt attached to each job in those states that allow for one way recording. Currently 38 out of the 50 states allow one way recording. The recordings offer several benefits to MLQ clients:

  • If a servee or a servee’s attorney files a motion to quash service, MLQ can provide audio proof of what transpired at the door.
  • Although the vast majority of process servers are honest, it only takes one server to cause enormous damage. When a server knows that he/she is being recorded, the incentive for fraud is greatly diminished.
  • When a MLQ process server indicates a property is vacant, the server is required to shoot a video that provides demonstrative evidence to the client that the property is vacant.

In addition, MLQ clients have access to a password-protected web portal that has the following features:

  • Multiple ways to search files
  • Status updates not only on served or not served, but every service attempt
  • Conformed copies of affidavits of service loaded into every job
  • Photo of servee property with latitude, longitude, day and date time stamp
  • Playable audio file of every attempt attached to each job ( in those states that allow one way recording)
  • Instant messaging from each job to our office for any type of request
  • Scanned copy of server field sheet
  • Scanned conformed copy of non ests removing the need to get court copies for re-serves in those states that allow service of copies
  • Ability to monitor all files regardless of jurisdiction
  • Video proof of vacant properties
  • Email notification of service completions
