Process Serving
Delivering Documents
Legal documents generally require formal serving upon the opposing party. In some circumstances, legal documents must be served by an independent person unrelated to the parties involved in the legal dispute.
Following service of legal documents, typically, an Affidavit of Service as a sworn statement confirming that service was performed requires drafting with swearing under Oath by the person who performed the service of the document while in the presence of a Commissioner of Oaths who will then 'commission' the document in confirmation that the formal act of service was fulfilled as declared within the Affidavit. Subsequently, court filing of the served document, along with the Affidavit of Service as confirming service of the document is performed.
Process serving can also involve assistance in attending the court clerk's office for the purpose of obtaining copies of documents from court files, among other things.
NOTE: A significant volume of online inquiries featuring “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicate a pressing requirement for competent legal assistance, rather than a precise designation. In Ontario, licensed paralegals are overseen by the same Law Society that governs lawyers and have the authority to assist clients in specified litigation matters. Advocacy, legal interpretation, and procedural expertise are fundamental to this role. Caruso Legal Services provides legal representation within its licensed framework, focusing on strategic planning, evidence preparation, and compelling advocacy aimed at securing effective and beneficial outcomes for clients.
