Our local agents maintain daily familiarity with the prothonotary office, sheriff's department filing windows, and local court procedures specific to Allegheny County. We ensure your documents are served legally, promptly, and in full compliance with Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

      Allegheny County is the second most populous county in Pennsylvania and home to Pittsburgh, the state’s second-largest city. Our Allegheny County process servers are intimately familiar with the City-County Building at 414 Grant St, the Family Court Building at 440 Ross St, and the Allegheny County Courthouse at 436 Grant St where the Court of Common Pleas Civil Division is located. We serve defendants across Pittsburgh’s 90 distinct neighborhoods — from Downtown and the Strip District to Squirrel Hill, Mt. Lebanon, and the North Shore — as well as in Allegheny’s 130 municipalities including McKeesport, Bethel Park, and Monroeville. Corporate service on Pittsburgh-area companies registered with the Pennsylvania Department of State is a significant portion of our Allegheny County workload. We coordinate with the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Civil Division when sheriff service is required under Pa.R.C.P. 400, and we track writ returns to ensure your matter is not prejudiced by delayed sheriff scheduling. Same-day and rush service for PFA orders, TROs, and emergency injunctions filed in the Allegheny County Family Division are available 24/7.
