Oklahoma Process Server Discusses Finding Process Servers to Deliver Court Documents

Scott Malan of Malan Investigations offers tips for lawyers on how to find process servers who will get the job done correctly.

One of the first things Malan recommends is finding somebody who belongs to a nationally recognized association.

"You want a licensed process server who's bonded, belongs to a professional organization, and does the job full-time," Malan said. "That's the only way you'll get the best service."
