The City of Commerce is a major industrial and logistics hub along the 5 and 710, home to the Citadel Outlets, a large card casino, rail yards and distribution centers, with a small number of residential neighborhoods.
Much of our Commerce work is business service at warehouses and offices, along with residents in the city’s neighborhoods.
Homes in Commerce include a small number of single-family neighborhoods among the city’s industrial areas, and businesses operate in the distribution centers and rail yards along Washington Boulevard and Telegraph Road, and around the Citadel.

Beyond process service, we file at the East Los Angeles Courthouse and other Los Angeles Superior Court locations, handle eFiling, domesticate out-of-state subpoenas for Commerce witnesses, arrange legal notice publication and run same-day document deliveries across Commerce and Southern California.
