There are three main concepts that all process servers need to remember. These are essential, and if they remember nothing else, they should remember the following:
- Get Neither Harmed Nor Killed â As we have said many times before, process serving is a very dangerous field, and if they are not careful they can get hurt or even murdered! They need always to wear bulletproof vests, carry pepper gel, and wear body cameras or use dash cameras. It is also helpful for them to share their location with loved ones and to tell them where they are going and when they will be back
If they take precautions, they can reduce the risks to their lives by horrible, dangerous people who would harm them. That way they can enjoy their chosen legal professions and return home to their loved ones each night. Â
- Do Your Very Best Job â
It is always important that each one do his best. There are so many laws and rules to follow, and as with any other job, it just takes time to get good at serving court papers and other legal documents. Those who can find an experienced mentor to help them learn and grow will fare much better in their chosen legal profession than those who go it alone.
- Make Sure Your Clients Pay You â Upfront, Mostly! â
 Most clients will pay you, but to avoid having to chase them all down, it is most helpful to go ahead and get the payment for your services upfront. Sadly, lawyers and doctors can be the worst about paying, because once you complete their work, they get busy with other things and many stop thinking about you and their promise to pay you. Not everyone is like that, but some lawyers, doctors, and others sure are, and having to chase them all down for payment takes away too much time and energy that you need to serve court papers properly.
