Be Thankful You’re Never Left in the Dark with RPS&I

When you’re dealing with legal matters, the last thing you want is silence. You’ve got deadlines, documents, and a case that can’t afford to stall—but too often, clients are left wondering: “Has my paperwork been served yet?”

At Roland Process Service and Investigations (RPS&I), we believe communication is the heartbeat of great service. This season, as we reflect on what we’re thankful for, we’re especially grateful for the trust our clients place in us—and we’re proud to return that trust by keeping them informed every step of the way.

Because when you hire us to serve your summons & complaint, deposition subpoena, temporary restraining order, landlord tenant eviction and so much more, you deserve clarity, not confusion.

Communication You Can Count On

Serving legal documents isn’t just about knocking on doors and handing over papers—it’s about precision, documentation, and follow-through. That’s why we make communication our priority from the moment you contact us until your proof of service is in your hands.

At RPS&I, we keep you updated on every attempt, every success, and every challenge along the way. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening with your case because you’ll already know.

Our Clients Say It Best

Our clients’ experiences speak volumes about what sets us apart:

“I used Mr. Roland's practice twice, once for serving summons to appear in court and once for serving a writ of garnishment. Mr. Roland was incredibly professional, very responsive to email communications, and they provided the requested service within a very swift time frame. I would highly recommend this practice to anybody seeking private process serving in the Denver area.”

— Erik A.

Why Communication Matters in Process Serving

Legal service timelines are tight, and the smallest delay can derail a case. A missed delivery, incorrect address, or lack of status updates can leave attorneys and clients scrambling. That’s why our team ensures:

• Prompt updates after each service attempt.
• Clear documentation for your records.
• Fast turnaround times that meet your court’s requirements.
• Direct communication with our process servers and investigators.

At RPS&I, we don’t just serve papers—we serve peace of mind. Whether we’re serving a summons, a restraining order, or a wage garnishment, our goal is the same: deliver efficient, compliant, and transparent service that keeps your case moving forward.

So this season, as you count your blessings, you can be thankful for something else—a process service company that won’t leave you in the dark. With Roland Process Service and Investigations, you’ll always know where your documents stand, because we believe great service doesn’t just end with a successful delivery—it starts with communication.

Understanding the Process Serving Timeline and What Clients Can Expect

When you’re involved in a legal case, timing is everything. Whether it’s a civil lawsuit, a divorce filing, or a court summons, the legal process can’t officially begin until the other party has been properly served. That’s where we come in.

At Roland Process Service and Investigations, we know that waiting for confirmation your documents have been served can feel stressful—especially when court deadlines are looming. So, let’s break down what the process serving timeline really looks like and what you can expect from start to finish.

Step 1: Receiving and Reviewing the Documents

The timeline begins when you provide us with the documents that need to be served—such as summonses, complaints, subpoenas, or eviction notices.

Our team immediately reviews your paperwork to:

• Ensure all necessary forms are included.
• Confirm the service requirements (some documents require personal service, others allow substitute service).
• Verify the address and details of the person or business being served.

We’ll also discuss any special instructions or deadlines to make sure everything is handled in compliance with state and local laws.

Step 2: The First Attempt

Once the documents are ready, our professional process servers get to work. We make the first attempt as quickly as possible—often within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the assignment.

Depending on the case and location, we may attempt service at:

• The person’s home or last known address
• Their place of work
• Or another verified location

If the first attempt isn’t successful (for example, the person isn’t home), don’t worry—it’s part of the process.

Step 3: Follow-Up Attempts and Diligent Efforts

Process serving isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, it takes multiple attempts to successfully serve someone. At Roland Process Service and Investigations, we make every effort to locate and serve the individual properly, including:

• Visiting at different times of day or on different days
• Speaking with neighbors or colleagues when appropriate
• Running skip traces or background checks if the person has moved

These diligent efforts not only increase the chance of success—they also demonstrate to the court that we’ve taken all reasonable steps to serve the individual.

Step 4: Proof of Service

Once service has been completed, we provide you with a Proof of Service (Affidavit of Service)—an official document verifying that the papers were delivered properly and in accordance with the law.

This proof is crucial because it allows your case to move forward. Without it, the court can’t proceed. We make sure your proof of service is accurate, signed, and delivered promptly so your timeline stays on track.

Step 5: Typical Timeline Expectations

The entire process serving timeline can vary depending on factors like the person’s availability, location, and cooperation—but here’s a general idea:

• Routine Service: 3–7 business days
• Rush Service: Within 24–48 hours
• Difficult/Skip Trace Cases: May take 1–2 weeks or longer depending on the circumstances

At Roland Process Service and Investigations, we always communicate clearly so you know where things stand every step of the way.
