Diem Legal is a process server based in London. We serve the local area within 24 hours and charge a standard fixed fee for up to 3 attempts at serve.
Serving court documents in London on a daily basis means that we have the team and know-how to successfully serve your documents faster than any other process server in London.
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.
Some of our typical clients: Individuals, solicitors, law firms, insurance companies, charities, finance houses and leasing companies all over the world.
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.
We collect documents from all local London courthouses. We have secure email servers that allow us accelerated communication channels with the courts, to reduce lead-times and eliminate any delay in serving your court documents. You can also instruct us by email or post, or we can collect the papers directly from you or your client.
The cost can vary depending on the type of service you require. However, the average cost for a process server in London is around £100-£150 per hour.
Yes, many process serving companies offer a fixed fee service which can be a cost-effective option for those on a tight budget. For example, we offer a fixed fee service for £129 with no hidden extras.
If you are being served papers in the UK, it is important to remain calm and seek legal advice as soon as possible. You should carefully read the papers you have been served and take note of the deadline for responding. It is also important to keep a copy of the papers and any correspondence related to the case.
Being served papers does not necessarily mean that you are guilty of any wrongdoing. Seeking legal advice can help you understand your rights and obligations and guide you through the legal process.
You cannot refuse to be served legal papers or court documents. Ignoring or refusing to accept legal papers does not exempt you from the legal proceedings. It can also have a negative impact on your case.
