Our Association has established a Code of Ethics and Best Practices. Our members are committed to practicing the highest professional standards.

ILAPPS opposes as currently drafted two identical bills filed in both chambers: SB2069 and HB1450. These bills would create the offense of false impersonation and make it illegal for agents to be armed for personal protection.

House Bill 365 Means New Industry for Process Servers

David Kopel, President of legalpapers.net, explains his company, House Bill 365 and its repercussions to LawyersandSettlements in a phone interview.

LawyersandSettlements (LAS): What is a process server and what does your company do?
David Kopel (DK): We are a private process-serving company, where an independent citizen delivers court papers—such as foreclosure notices.

LAS: Isn't that what a sheriff does? What is the difference?
(DK):A sheriff is paid a salary and works 9 to 5. We go anywhere, any day, any time and we get paid when documents are delivered. We pick up the slack.
