I started Angel City Legal because I know firsthand what bad process service costs. I lost two important legal matters entirely due to improper and fraudulent service attempts — cases that should have been won. That experience made one thing clear: the people who depend on this system deserve a process server who treats every serve like the outcome of the case depends on it. Because it does.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is process serving?

Process serving is the legal delivery of court documents (summons, complaints, subpoenas, etc.) to a party involved in a lawsuit. California law requires that defendants be properly notified of legal proceedings against them. A registered process server ensures documents are delivered in compliance with state law and provides sworn proof of service for the court.

How long does process serving take?

Standard service typically takes 3-5 business days with up to 3 attempts. Rush service is available within 24-48 hours, and same-day service can be arranged for urgent matters. Turnaround depends on the subject's availability and location.

What areas do you serve?

We specialize in Northeast Los Angeles (Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Glassell Park, Mount Washington, Atwater Village) and the San Gabriel Valley (Pasadena, Alhambra, Arcadia, Monrovia, San Marino, Temple City, Rosemead, El Monte, and more). We also serve Glendale, Burbank, and the greater LA County area. Statewide California service is available upon request.

What is AB 747 (SPARE Act) and how does it affect my case?

AB 747 is California legislation signed in October 2025 that strengthens service of process requirements, especially for unlawful detainer (eviction) cases. Starting January 1, 2027, it mandates GPS-stamped photo documentation, requires 3 attempts on 3 different days at 3 different times, and upgrades mailing for substitute service to Priority Mail or Certified Mail.

Angel City Legal is already AB747-compliant — a full year ahead of the mandate. This means your proof of service documentation meets the highest standards, reducing the risk of challenges to service.

How do I serve a company through its registered agent?

To serve a business entity, you typically serve its designated agent for service of process (registered agent). Look up a company's registered agent on the California Secretary of State website. Angel City Legal is located minutes from the Glendale registered agent hub — including CT Corporation, LegalZoom, and NRAI — and offers fast, reliable registered agent drop service starting at $85.

What proof of service will I receive?

Every serve includes a detailed proof of service affidavit ready for court filing, GPS-stamped photographs of the service location with date and time, and a sworn declaration describing the method of service. All documentation meets AB747 standards and includes our process server registration number.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. We offer tiered volume discounts for recurring clients: 10% for 10-24 serves/month, 15% for 25-49, 20% for 50-99, and 25% for 100+ monthly serves. Property management companies, collection agencies, and law firms with regular service needs are great candidates. Contact us for a custom quote.

What types of documents can you serve?

We serve all types of civil legal documents including summons and complaints, subpoenas (deposition and records), eviction notices (3-day, 30-day, 60-day), unlawful detainer papers, restraining orders, small claims documents, wage garnishment orders, breach of contract notices, and more. If you have a specific document type, contact us and we'll confirm we can handle it.

Where is CT Corporation's Glendale office?

CT Corporation System is located at 330 N Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203. Their office hours are 7am-1pm Monday through Friday. Angel City Legal is just 10-15 minutes from this location and provides fast registered agent drop service. NRAI (National Registered Agents) is at the same address.

What happens if you can't serve the person?

If we are unable to make personal service after 3 documented attempts, we'll discuss alternative service methods including substitute service (leaving documents with a co-resident and mailing via Priority Mail) or service by posting. We also offer skip tracing services to help locate individuals who are difficult to find. You'll receive detailed documentation of all attempts made.
