Glendale is one of the San Fernando Valley’s busiest business centers, with corporate offices along Brand Boulevard, a major retail core around the Americana at Brand and the Galleria, and hillside neighborhoods stretching up into the Verdugo Mountains. It is also where CT Corporation System, one of the most-used registered agents in California, has its office.
That makes Glendale a hub for business service as well as everyday process service. We serve residents from Adams Hill to Rossmoyne and Sparr Heights, and deliver papers to companies throughout the downtown core.
Homes in Glendale include downtown apartment and condo buildings, hillside homes in the Verdugo foothills and older single-family neighborhoods near Kenneth Road, and businesses operate along Brand Boulevard, in the downtown office towers and near the Glendale Galleria and Americana at Brand. Our servers know how to reach people in each setting, and every attempt is logged with date, time and GPS location so your proof of service holds up.
Beyond process service, we file at the Glendale Courthouse and other Los Angeles Superior Court locations, handle eFiling, domesticate out-of-state subpoenas for Glendale witnesses, arrange legal notice publication and run same-day document deliveries across Glendale and Southern California.
