You are a process sever and your job is continuously becoming like a cat and mouse game? It’s time for the cat to change tricks so as to catch the mouse. As a process server, you are supposed to deliver and serve all types of court summons and documents. The success of any court proceeding depends highly on how documents are delivered to the defendants. I hope you know that.
Process serving sounds quite simple; imagine, just taking summons and documents to a court proceeding defendant. Even if it sounds simple, don’t be deceived by its simple sound. The process can be much complicated than it sounds because some defendants can be very difficult to serve than others.
A number of reasons might hinder the process service from going as planned. In most cases, process serving involves hand delivery of the documents to the party’s home or business.

Some defendants are skilled with some knowledge on the procedures of process serving, and might put the skills of the server to test. For instance, the defendant can be a person who changes his/her address randomly, hence making his/her tracing difficult.

Moreover, the defendant might simply not want to be served at all. Remember, it’s not a matter of choice, the documents must be delivered. Then, what should our process server do? As said earlier, the cat needs some new tricks.
The first step the process server New Orleans LA should take is consult with a law professional. You need to know what is legal and what is not when it comes to approaching someone.

This is vital because you might be delivering a court summon but in the process you get yourself into trespassing or other troubles. After you become conversant with the regional law, you can try an appropriate trick.

Let’s discuss a few process serving tricks below.
The first duty, as a process server, is to gather enough details about the intended defendant. If the defendant’s last known address is no more practical, you need to find his or her new address.

If finding the new address is a bit difficult, try to find out the recipient’s place of work or their daily routines. That way, you can find your target off guard and serve them effectively.
Secondly, the use of props can get the job done effectively. Check with an attorney to establish whether disguise or impersonation is legal within your jurisdiction. A court summon is very unpleasant. So it’s important you play process service with a lot of wits. You can disguise as a salesperson or delivery service representative delivering the recipient goodies like pizza. In simple terms, be creative and play it safe in your props.
Thirdly and finally, the defendant’s neighbors and friends can offer a helping hand. You can use their friends to serve the recipients with the court documents. You can as well get their nicknames from their friends. This is the name you will call out when you reach their door steps. In conclusion, creativity counts in becoming a successful process server.

The above three tips are useful but you can try and add more flavor to the process by being more creative.
