Rush and emergency service for tight deadlines
When a hearing is close or a protection order has to reach someone fast, rush service puts your job at the front of the line, with a first attempt within 24 hours.
What rush service means
Rush orders get priority review, faster dispatch and tighter scheduling of attempts. Standard orders get a first attempt within 2 to 5 days. Rush and emergency orders get a first attempt within 24 hours of confirmation.
Rush service speeds things up. It cannot guarantee the person is served by a certain time, because that depends on where they are and whether they cooperate. If a specific time window is critical, call us and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic.
When rush makes sense
- Hearings and response deadlines within days
- Protection orders, restraining orders and TROs
- Fast-moving litigation and urgent filings
- The 90-day service window after filing is close to running out
