Is this something you really wonder about? Are you reading this and asking what would happen to you, if you attacked or even murdered a process server or a sheriff’s deputy? Horrible, empathy-lacking individuals who do crazy stuff like that end up going to jail for a long time or even facing the death penalty.
Do not be a dick and attack or try to murder anyone; they have families, too. Would you want someone trying to murder you or your loved one? Exactly.
Yes, many go out in all kinds of disguises. These can range from pizza delivery drivers to package delivery persons and more. Indeed, Halloween is the best time for them to go out in disguise, because so is everyone else! Imagine if a demon or ghost came up and served you with court documents.
Most of them do not go out in disguises, and federal laws prohibit the tactics they can utilize when trying to serve court documents for debt collection matters. Even so, the fact that an expert does not go out in a law enforcement uniform makes it more likely that the defendant/respondent/witness will open the door to him. “Why might this be so,” you may ask.
Some defendants, respondents, and witnesses about to receive court documents have warrants out for their arrest. Thus, when a sheriff’s deputy shows up in full uniform, a badge, a gun, a bulletproof vest, and carrying a taser, how many criminal defendants do you know who would open the door? Thus, when a sheriff’s deputy goes to the door to serve court papers, many defendants, witnesses, and respondents will hide inside and will say they “do not know” the person of interest (POI).
On the other hand, when a process server goes up to a person’s home or place of business to serve court documents, they will approach in plain clothes or even a clever disguise like a pizza delivery driver or package delivery person. If the person is especially difficult to catch and is avoiding service, our private investigation agency might even send out a hot young female or sexy young man as the situation warrants. The “sexy process server” works quite often, as many defendants, respondents, and witnesses will open the door right on.
Yes, you should always not play around and just open the door, whenever he/she comes to your door. Failure to do so will anger the process-serving goddesses and will result in a process-server god or goddess putting a box on your house.
Many people do not like them because they are empathy-lacking a$$holes. They are the same kind of idiots who discriminate against people who are LGBTQIA+ and believe women must be “subservient” to men. These poop-for brains think that their race and “god” are “superior” over those of others. 
They are fellow human beings, and they deserve respect and basic humanity. Many also have families, hopes, dreams, and goals for the future. Sadly, it is too easy to demonize others we disdain and to project our insecurities onto them.
He is never a party to the lawsuit or other pending legal action against you. He did not cause the legal issue against you, nor is your attack or attempt to murder him going to magically make the problems and difficulties “disappear” into thin air.
Indeed, if you are the type of monster who thinks it is okay to try to harm one, then you probably deserve the contents of the lawsuit against you. Only bad people do such terrible things as to harm innocent process servers from private investigation agencies in Lawton, Oklahoma who are merely trying to support themselves.
It can indeed be a very fun, enjoyable job, and though it comes with many risks and dangers it also offers many adventures to outgoing people. Indeed, process servers who are hardworking, self-motivated, driven, determined, excellent communicators, honest, etc., can earn wonderful salaries, and quick payouts, and do not have someone constantly breathing down their necks and micromanaging everything.
Yes, whenever they complete a serve – whether successful or unsuccessful – they will complete an affidavit of a process server. Our office manager will E-mail a copy of the affidavit of service to you or your attorney, and then we will mail the original either to you, your lawyer, or the court clerk. 
Yes, anyone wishing to work as one must have first obtained a process server license in Oklahoma. The State of Oklahoma only permits attorneys, sheriff’s deputies, and licensed process servers from private detective agencies to serve court documents. Of course, the post office can also deliver court documents via certified mail with a return receipt.
Under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, it is a felony for any person to file sham process service. This means that if an agent says she/he/they served someone but just dropped the papers on the ground at the door when no one was home, then the State can charge that person with a felony.
Why is a sham legal process a felony? Well, the legal consequences for saying you served someone when it did not happen are huge. Sham service of process can get an entire legal case thrown out, meaning it must start all over again and waste an incredible amount of time and money. Now you see why a process server who files a sham service causes so much harm. Thus, the State of Oklahoma considers the filing of sham service by him to be a serious offense.
Yes, if the court documents originate in the State of Oklahoma, then he may leave them with anyone who lives at the residence with the defendant, respondent, plaintiff, petitioner, or witness who is over the age of 15 ½. Of course, exceptions to this rule do apply. All best ones must serve the 4 following Oklahoma-issued legal documents via personal service only:
In addition to what is mentioned above, some states like Texas and Florida require them to serve all court papers via personal service only. Texas makes allowances for substitute service and posting, but the attorney in the case must apply for alternate service and receive permission from the judge beforehand.
Other states like California allow for substitute service via a process server, but only on the 3rd attempt at service. Of course, when serving someone via substitute service with California-issued papers, the person gives the court documents to at a residence must be at least 18 years of age, instead of attaining an age over 15 ½ like the rule is for Oklahoma-issued documents. Likewise, when serving someone via substitute service with California-issued papers, he must also mail a copy of the documents to the defendant’s/respondent’s residence.
One important thing to note is that substitute service, if allowed under a state’s laws, is only permissible upon an individual at her/his/their residence. No official may sub serve documents upon an individual defendant at a place of business or anywhere outside of her/his/their residence. Likewise, substitute service is also permissible, if a state allows for substitute service, via substitute service upon a business at a place of business. Thus, if the registered agent is not present, then the best agents may leave the court documents with a legal assistant, manager, etc.
Many people think process serving is an easy task, but there are so many laws to know about and so many dangers that all face daily. Please be kind to them whenever possible.

He has many ways to find people who are avoiding the service of process. Indeed, process servers, skip tracers, and private eyes from private investigation agencies must often find evasive defendants, respondents, and witnesses on behalf of their clients. Otherwise, their clients’ court cases and other legal matters cannot proceed.
The first and most popular way for them to locate an individual is through a nationwide skip trace. A skip trace service by a skip tracer performs a skip trace service by obtaining certain information about the person of interest (POI) and then running it through a special skip trace service. Whenever someone registers to vote, pay taxes, register utilities, register a car, obtain a driver’s license, etc., it leaves a paper trail and shows up new addresses on the nationwide skip trace via a skip tracer in Lawton from a private investigation agency. Of course, skip trace services by them can also obtain a plethora of other concomitant data about a person, but we will leave that for another question elsewhere on this page.
They can also locate people by conducting forwarding address checks at the U.S. Post Office. Whenever someone moves, she/he/they often file a special form with the USPS, so that they can still receive any leftover mail at their new address. Likewise, if a skip trace service upon a POI is unsuccessful or if the client simply does not want her/his/their agent, then they may simply fill out the special form and request the new address that the POI had her/his/their mail forwarded to.
One other tactic for them to find evasive persons by renting out a P.O. box from the USPS instead of listing a physical address is to simply file the post office box address check form. This is where the post office reviews the form and then divulges the physical address of the person associated with the post office box.
Holidays tend to be the best days for them to serve court documents to individuals. Why is this? It is because on holidays many people are at home or with families. So, unless the defendant/respondent has traveled to another city, state, or country for the holidays, an expert will often have great success serving individuals at their homes on holidays.
Of course, some states like Texas prohibit the service of processing any court papers Texas issues on Sundays, and other states prohibit this service of any papers on special days like Election Day. Thus, if the holidays he/she is attempting to serve a court document on happen to fall on prohibited days, then they need to make sure they always check with each state’s laws about excluded dates for service of process.
He may serve Oklahoma-issued court documents any time of the day or night, any day of the week. Of course, most usually only serve court papers and other legal documents from about 7:00 in the morning until about 10:00 or 11:00 at night at the latest. Why might this happen? The answer is very clear.
They would rather serve people while they are awake because they are more likely to answer their doors or be at their office buildings. Likewise, when they attempt to serve court documents in the dark, the risk of danger and harm to the experts go way up. Indeed, if someone came up to your door and started knocking at 3:00 in the morning, even an otherwise law-abiding defendant/respondent might become frightened and could possibly shoot them.
Of course, some states like Texas prohibit service on certain days. Indeed, Texas does not allow them to serve or attempt to serve any legal documents issued from its jurisdiction on Sundays. Other states prohibit service of process of documents from its jurisdiction by a process server from private investigation agencies on days like Election Day. Thus, it is always imperative that the ones who are seeking to serve court documents take great care to check to see what the state’s laws and regulations for the serving process are, prior to attempting to make the serve.
