Assignment Confirmation

Submitting this form does not confirm acceptance of an assignment. An assignment is considered accepted only after you receive a confirmation email from BayServe Legal stating that it has been accepted. If you do not receive that confirmation, please do not consider the assignment accepted.

Tell us about your assignment, including the service needed, location, deadline, and any important instructions. BayServe Legal will review the information provided and follow up regarding availability, pricing, and the next steps.

Multiple Defendants or Addresses?

Submit one request form for all defendants at the same address and list each defendant in the Message / Assignment Details section. Please submit a separate request form for each additional address.

Confidentiality Notice: Information submitted through this form is treated as confidential and used only in connection with your requested service. BayServe Legal does not disclose client information to unauthorized third parties, except as required by law.
