Professional service of process throughout Louisiana — from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to every parish in the state. Routine, rush, and same-day assignments for attorneys, businesses, agencies, and individuals.
Straightforward pricing, confirmed before we dispatch.

Lawson Legal Services manages your Louisiana assignment from intake to proof. You submit one form; we confirm pricing, dispatch a vetted local server in the correct jurisdiction, send written status updates at each attempt, and return a signed — and where required, notarized — proof of service ready for filing.
Service of process in Louisiana is governed by the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and, for cases filed in federal court, Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Depending on the parish and case type, Louisiana may require service by a sheriff or constable, a licensed or certified private process server, or another court-authorized adult who is not a party to the case. We assign the appropriate server for your matter.
Substituted service — leaving papers with a suitable person at the defendant's home or usual place of business — is permitted in many Louisiana case types, typically after documented diligent attempts at personal delivery. If a defendant cannot be located, our skip tracing team researches lawful address leads first, and we can provide an affidavit of due diligence to support a motion for alternative service.
Rush service is available statewide for $225, and same-day service is available in many Louisiana jurisdictions. Call (800) 594-4730 with the service address, deadline, and documents so availability can be confirmed immediately.
