At Palmetto Legal Gophers, we believe in uncompromising integrity. We take your business seriously and recognize that mistakes can cause you, your case, and your client to suffer.

Our rates are competitive and we offer services above and beyond what the standard process serving companies do. We always try to make the first service attempt within 1-3 days of receiving your legal documents. 92% of our papers are served on the first attempt. Whether you hire us to be your primary or your backup process server, you will not be disappointed. Call us at 803-216-1621 to schedule your next job.

Process Serving Benefits

  • Clocking In – We will take signed documents to the courthouse and get them clocked in before the first delivery attempt. A $25 flat fee is required for this service along with a check for any fees charged by the Clerk of Court. Mileage rates apply for remote counties (see map below).
  • Multiple Papers to the Same Location – Oftentimes, we are asked to serve more than one entity at the same address. Unlike our competitors, we think it is unfair to charge you two or more times for the same trip.
  • Three Attempts – Palmetto Legal Gophers will make three attempts of service on the location address provided.
  • Rush Service – Rush service is defined as any paper that has to be served within two days. This service costs $50 in addition to standard charges.  Mileage charges of $.30 per mile will also apply regardless of the destination county.
  • Service Out of State – Call Palmetto Legal Gophers at 803-216-1621 to get a quote on serving papers outside of South Carolina.
  • Mileage - Palmetto Legal Gophers is building a network of trusted process servers across the state. It is our goal to reduce and/or eliminate mileage charges as much as possible. Unfortunately, due to high gas prices and general remoteness of many rural areas, we do have to charge $.30/mi for certain counties. Please see the map below for details.

Standard Charges

  • Columbia area: $60
  • Charleston, Greenville, and Midlands areas: $75
  • Other counties: $75 + $.30 per mile
