About 4th Judicial Circuit Court (Jackson County)

The 4th Judicial Circuit Court sits inside the Jackson County Courthouse at 312 South Jackson Street in downtown Jackson. It is the only circuit court for Jackson County and manages the county's most serious matters, including felony prosecutions, civil lawsuits with claims over $25,000, and Family Division cases such as divorce, custody, and personal protection orders.

Papers Delivered is a private, licensed Michigan process-serving company based in Troy. We serve summonses, complaints, subpoenas, writs, and court orders tied to cases filed with the 4th Circuit Court, and we return a signed proof of service you can file with the record. We are a process server for hire, not the court, not the County Clerk, and not a law firm, so we do not give legal advice or report case status.

Our servers cover the City of Jackson and the surrounding townships and villages across Jackson County, from Grass Lake and Napoleon to Springport and Concord. When a job calls for it, we also handle court filing and document retrieval at the courthouse and skip tracing to locate a hard-to-find party.

Why Fast Service Matters

In Michigan, a civil summons issued by the Circuit Court is generally valid for only 91 days from the date the complaint is filed, and the court sets firm deadlines for answers and hearings. Late or failed service can force a party to restart the summons, delay a divorce or protection matter, or put a hearing date at risk. Fast, documented service in Jackson protects the timeline, and our 24/7 availability means urgent papers move the day you hand them over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the 4th Circuit Court located?

It sits in the Jackson County Courthouse at 312 South Jackson Street, Jackson, MI 49201, in downtown Jackson. Do not confuse it with the 12th District Court, which handles lower-level matters from the Jackson County Tower Building at 120 West Michigan Avenue.

Are you the court or the County Clerk?

No. We are a private process server for hire. We do not accept filings on the court's behalf, set hearings, or provide legal advice. For case records or filing questions, contact the Jackson County Clerk at the courthouse.

Can you also serve papers for the 12th District Court in Jackson?

Yes. The 12th District Court sits in the Jackson County Tower Building at 120 West Michigan Avenue and handles misdemeanors, evictions, small claims, and civil claims up to $25,000. We serve documents for both courts throughout Jackson County.

What do I receive after service is complete?

You receive a signed affidavit, or proof of service, that records the date, time, place, and manner of service. You can file that document with the 4th Circuit Court to show the party was properly served.
