Process server in Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Delator Group MS and Delator Field Services serve court papers throughout Hattiesburg and Forrest County, with GPS-stamped affidavits, evasive-defendant handling and rush service for hearing deadlines.
Papers served in Hattiesburg and every Hattiesburg community
Process serving in Hattiesburg covers two county court systems, Forrest in Hattiesburg and Lamar in Purvis, plus municipal court and the federal Eastern Division. Delator Field Services servers based in the Pine Belt handle all of it, including the student apartment complexes that turn over every semester.
Under Mississippi Rule of Civil Procedure 4, papers may be served by the sheriff or by any person who is not a party and is at least 18, so Delator Field Services' servers serve directly without a sheriff's referral; proof is returned by sworn affidavit and the 120-day service window under Rule 4(h) is tracked on every file. Papers for defendants at Camp Shelby are coordinated with post authorities as required.
