The total time for service varies case by case, however, we can tell you how quickly we'll get started. For standard delivery, a process server should make the first attempt within 5 business days. For rush in South Carolina, they'll make the first attempt within 2 business days.

While some people are evading service of process in South Carolina, in many cases they just aren't quite where you expect them to be, when you try to reach them. We're here to help you handle either situation. Process servers in South Carolina will make multiple attempts with South Carolina's diligence and service requirements in mind.

Every service attempt will work towards meeting those requirements. In doing so, we will go to the house multiple times to try and reach the person to be served while they are in residence. Our process servers are tasked with providing data indicating that a person may reside at the address, which we refer to as "residency indicators".

This information can come in handy when trying to prove diligence after non-service in court or to get alternative service approved as available in a given state.

For legal professionals, we can provide additional assistance regarding the next best address to try with a free, auto trace. This service isn't available to everyone due to legal restrictions across the country.

At ABC Legal we get your documents out to service with one of the process servers in our nationwide network. Process servers are unbiased agents qualified to serve documents in accordance with local laws. Regulations around the age, licensing, and appointment requirements for process servers vary from state to state. In South Carolina, service of process must be performed by the sheriff, his deputy, or any other person over the age of 18 who is neither an attorney nor a party involved with the action.

We confirm that process servers meet South Carolina requirements (in South Carolina, for example, process servers must confirm the identity of the person to whom they hand the documents) and our standards for excellent service on an ongoing basis through automatic reviews, performance audits, and service validations.
