For personal injury firms

Process serving for personal injury firms

Defendants in PI cases move, change jobs and stop answering the door. PDQ makes the first attempt within 48 hours, keeps going back, and gets you the affidavit within one business day of service.

Since 2003

Serving papers for law firms, with the tri-state area as home turf.

Attempted within 48 hours

Every job is handled as a rush. No upcharge for that.

Affidavit in one business day

Guaranteed after service is completed. Notary included.

No dispatcher

Status updates go straight to your email from the server.

Who this page is for

The people who actually track the serve

In a PI office, service isn't one person's job. The attorney needs it done, the paralegal tracks it, and the office manager pays for it. PDQ is set up so all three get what they need without chasing anybody.

Attorneys

You want service done right so the case keeps moving, and you don't want to think about it again until the affidavit is in the file.

Paralegals and litigation assistants

You're the one who gets asked whether the defendant has been served. Updates land in your email, so you have the answer before anyone asks.

Office managers

One vendor who picks up the phone, sends a clear invoice you can pay online, and doesn't create follow-up work for your staff.

What PI firms send us

The usual jobs

01

Summons and complaint

Drivers, property owners and businesses, including the defendant whose address on the police report is two moves out of date.

02

Records subpoenas

Subpoenas to records custodians at medical providers, employers and other businesses. When a witness fee check has to go with it, we cover it and add it to your invoice.

03

Witness subpoenas

Getting a witness served in time for the deposition or trial date on the subpoena. More on subpoena service.

04

Subpoenas that need domesticating

When the subpoena comes from one state and the witness lives in another, we handle the domestication so it can be served. Pricing on request.

05

The ones that stalled

Serves another company gave up on, and defendants who know the papers are coming. Advanced skip tracing and stakeouts when it comes to that. Difficult serves.

What changes with PDQ

Less chasing, fewer surprises

You stop following up

Status updates go straight to your email from the server. You shouldn't have to call every day to find out whether anyone went to the house.

Nothing sits in a pile

Every document is treated as a rush, with a first attempt within 48 hours of receipt. There's no upcharge for that. It's just how the work is done.

The affidavit is fast and notarized

Guaranteed within one business day of completed service, notary included. Your file doesn't wait on paperwork.

One person knows the job

You deal directly with the server handling it. No dispatcher, no ticket number, no retelling the story.

Try it once

Send us one serve.

Pick the serve that's been sitting on your desk, or just the next one that comes in. Send it to PDQ and see how it goes.

If it goes the way it should, send the next one. That's the whole pitch.

From a client

“He gets the job done no matter what time of day or night, no matter what the location, and communicates throughout the entire process… if I ask him to serve a Complaint, it will get done without me having to follow up every day to see how the process is going.”

Questions

Questions from PI firms

How quickly will the defendant be attempted?

Within 48 hours of when we receive the papers. Every document is handled as a rush, with no rush charge.

Can you serve on a specific day or at a specific time?

Yes. That's a custom rush, priced on the pricing page. Tell us the day or the window when you send the papers.

The address on the police report is old. Can you still find the defendant?

Usually. We run advanced skip traces to find a current address, and when someone is dodging service we can stake out the place they're most likely to be.

Do you handle records subpoenas to medical providers?

Yes. If a witness fee check has to be tendered with the subpoena, we cover it and add it to your invoice, so you don't have to cut a separate check.

How will our office get updates?

By email, directly from the server. Tell us who on your team should get them when you send the job.

How soon do we get the affidavit after the defendant is served?

Within one business day. That's guaranteed, and it comes back notarized.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes. Refer another firm to PDQ and your firm gets five services free.
