- Where do you file returns for Fort Lauderdale cases?
-
We file and return at the Broward County Judicial Complex (Central Courthouse), 201 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale. Check Clerk locations and hours for specific civil or family filing windows.
- When is substituted service allowed in Florida?
-
Substituted (or constructive) service is permitted only under the conditions spelled out in Florida Statutes (see §48.161 and related statutes). We document due diligence and prepare affidavits to meet statutory requirements.
- Can you serve people in gated Fort Lauderdale communities or condo towers?
-
Yes. We follow condo/HOA and building security protocols, coordinate with property managers, and use evening/weekend windows when appropriate to comply with access rules.
- Do you serve registered agents or national corporate hubs in Florida?
-
Yes — we perform scheduled attempts to common RA providers and confirm cut-offs for priority deadlines.
- Local courthouse familiarity. We file and return at the Broward County Judicial Complex in downtown Fort Lauderdale and coordinate with court clerks to meet filing windows.
- Neighborhood expertise. We plan attempts around Las Olas, Flagler Village, Rio Vista, Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Wilton Manors and coastal residential zones to avoid avoidable delays.
- Statutory compliance. Substituted or constructive service is performed only when statutory requirements are met and documented per Florida law.
- Registered-agent & corporate hub deliveries. Timed attempts to CT Corp, CSC and national RA hubs, with priority service for court cut-offs.
We complete serves across Fort Lauderdale and greater Broward County — from Downtown/Las Olas and Flagler Village to Rio Vista, Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Harbor Beach, Wilton Manors, and the commercial corridors along Sunrise, Oakland Park, and Federal Highway. Our Fort Lauderdale experience means we plan attempts around condo/HOA access rules, gated-community procedures, employer sign-in protocols, medical campus restrictions, and high-rise lobby security — so attempts are effective and returns are court-ready.

Routine Service
Standard, cost-efficient
First attempt within 3–4 business days. Best for non-time-sensitive matters (routine civil complaints, standard notices). Includes multiple varied-time attempts, photo/log evidence where lawful, and a court-ready Affidavit/Return of Service after completion.
Rush Service
Next business day
First attempt the next business day after we confirm your order. Ideal for filings with short lead times or subpoenas where witness availability is limited. Request Rush when you need faster execution without the premium of same-day priority.
Priority Service
24-hour response
First attempt within 24 hours of order confirmation (weekdays). Choose Priority for court cut-offs, imminent hearings, and urgent garnishment or subpoena needs. Provide the court date and any filing deadlines so we can prioritize appropriately.
1. Submit — upload PDFs (case caption, complaint, exhibits), addresses, and any access notes.
2. Plan — we match attempt windows to employer hours, condo check-in rules, and courthouse schedules.
3. Execute — varied-time attempts, photo/log evidence where lawful, and immediate status updates.
4. Deliver — signed, court-ready Affidavit/Return of Service (notarized if required) and optional courier filing.
- PDF of the document(s) to serve (single PDF and exhibits preferred).
- Best known work/residence addresses and time windows.
- Access notes (gate codes, concierge, elevator passes, employer sign-in).
- Deadline and desired turnaround (Priority/Rush/Routine).
- Payment (prepayment required for new accounts).

I had a really bad landlord situation, and ProActive Process went above and beyond to help me. They were even able to serve the people who were out of the country, which I didn’t think was possible. If you are in Palm Beach County and need a Process Server — or even if you’re located anywhere in North America — these are the people to call. Their service was awesome, the price was fair and reasonable, and the communication was excellent throughout the process. Amanda was a huge help and made everything go smoothly.
