Not all process servers are created equal. At Smoky Mountain Process and Legal Services, we don't make exaggerated claims or quote low-ball fees to get your business. Our goal is unchallengeable service.  If your defendant or witness needs to be located or personally served, we are the company for you. All of our serves are recorded on body cam and include GPS & time stamps. Whenever possible, a signature of the witness or defendant is requested to memorialize the serve. All service quotes cover initial service attempts, 10 pages of printing, a Return or Proof of Service, as well as a notarized Affidavit of Service.*  We are court-approved by the General Sessions Court of Knox County, Tennessee. Our process servers are vetted, insured, and bonded to provide our clients with unparalleled service, regardless of jurisdiction within Tennessee.
