Serving papers in Bonita Springs & Estero
Old Bonita near the Imperial River, Bonita Beach, the communities along US 41 and Three Oaks Parkway, and Estero's golf and country club communities around Coconut Point.
Bonita Springs and Estero is in southern Lee County, in Lee County and the 20th Judicial Circuit, so every job here goes to a process server on our team who covers Lee County. You order online or by phone at one flat price per level.
Gated golf communities
Most homes in Estero and much of Bonita Springs are behind a guard house. Florida Statutes section 48.031(7) requires a gated residential community, including a condominium association or a cooperative, to grant a process server unannounced entry to serve a resident. We give the guard the resident's name and address and log the time and the answer on every attempt.
The Collier line
Bonita Springs runs right up to the Collier County line, and some addresses with a Naples mailing name are close by. We check the county of every address before the first trip and tell you if it does not match the court on the papers.
Seasonal residents
Many people here live in Southwest Florida only for the winter. A seasonal home can still be someone's usual place of abode while they live in it, but in the summer it may be empty or rented out. Under Florida Statutes 48.031(1)(a), papers can be left at the person's usual place of abode with someone 15 or older who lives there, after telling them what the papers are. We check whether anyone is living at the address, tell you right away if the home looks closed for the season, and use any other address you have for the person.
Lee County cases are heard at the Lee County Justice Center in downtown Fort Myers, the county seat. Tell us the court and case number with the papers and we write the affidavit for that court.
