| What is service by publication?

It provides constructive notice to a defendant who’s intentionally absent, in hiding, or otherwise unknown. It typically requires an order from a judge.

|
Why is your service faster?
|
|
We maintain a national newspaper database, so we already know which newspapers are in an area, what their prices are, and how to contact them. Our software automates the purchasing process, and can even communicate directly with newspapers – through electronic data exchange with major papers or by email or fax at smaller publications.
|
Why is your service more reliable?
|
|
Our software follows up automatically with the publisher and notifies our staff before a deadline is missed. Our automated process reminds the newspaper to send an affidavit of publication and alerts our staff to follow up personally when it has not arrived.
|
Why is your cost of publication cheaper?
|
|
Because we buy in bulk and we understand the newspaper business, we’re often able to achieve discounted rates.
|
Do I need to write a check to the newspaper?
|
|
No. We have electronic payment arrangements that we advance publication fees.
