Serving papers in Naples
Old Naples and the beachfront condos, the gated communities along Pine Ridge, Vanderbilt and Immokalee roads, Golden Gate and Golden Gate Estates, East Naples and Marco Island.
Naples is in Collier County, in Collier County and the 20th Judicial Circuit, so every job here goes to a process server on our team who covers Collier County. You order online or by phone at one flat price per level.
Gated communities and condo towers
Much of Naples lives behind a guard house or in a condominium tower with a front desk. 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 or desk the resident's name and unit, and log the time and the answer on every attempt.
Golden Gate Estates
East of the city, Golden Gate Estates is a large area of homes on big lots along long, straight roads, where houses can be set far back and hard to number. We confirm the location of every Estates address before the first trip.
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.
Collier County cases are heard at the Collier County courthouse in East Naples, the county seat. Tell us the court and case number with the papers and we write the affidavit for that court.
