London Process Servers
Process serving in London requires that we act fast. Mistakes can cost hours, but we’ve been known to collect documents from a magistrates or crown court in London and serve them successfully in the same afternoon or evening. We don’t run on standard hours, like the majority of court bailiffs. Diem Legal process servers will often work late into the evening to maintain our high levels or service and ensure the best chance of a successful serve.

Proof and Statement of Service
After the documents have been served, the process server must provide proof of service. This may include a statement of service or a full report detailing when and where the documents were served. This proof of service is important in legal proceedings, as it shows that the documents were delivered to the intended recipient.
