How long does it take to process serve legal documents?
Our practice is to try the service immediately, within the next 24 to 48 hours, always coordinating with our clients. We give to our clients the opportunity to set down in our website the deadline date. Under the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedures, there are limitations periods for serving documents, depending on what type of document and the stage of the process. We closely monitor this period, which is extremely important to avoid the expiration of your claim. Currently, during the Covid-19 epidemic, a profound technological revolution has begun within our judicial system, aimed at simplifying, and streamlining judicial processes with the use of the internet and service of documents by email. In any case, the prescription periods remain the same. We have different variety of services that we offer to our clients. We can perform the service requested on the same day or Rush service (which means that we will repeatedly try at the address that day until we finish the job or conclude that we cannot do it, that is, the person is on vacation, is out of the country, or no longer resides at the address). Sensitive service (that is, in the next five days, which means that we repeatedly test the address to meet the deadline set by the customer) and regular service (we try every day or every other day in the next fourteen days until the person is home and let's get done the job).
