Papers DeliveredProcess Server for the 38th Judicial Circuit Court, Monroe County
Available 24/7 to serve legal papers throughout Monroe County.
Serving the 38th Judicial Circuit Court in Monroe County
The 38th Judicial Circuit sits in downtown Monroe at 106 East First Street, a block off the River Raisin. It is Monroe County's general-jurisdiction bench, taking felony matters, civil suits above $25,000, family files, and appeals that come up from the 1st District Court. We deliver the documents these cases produce to the individuals, businesses, and offices named in them.
Our servers know the courthouse district and the communities that ring it, from the city center out to Frenchtown Township and the Lake Erie shoreline towns. Attorneys, law firms, landlords, and self-represented filers send us summonses, complaints, subpoenas, and personal protection orders to serve throughout the county.
After each attempt we prepare a signed, notarized affidavit of service built to Michigan court requirements, and we lodge that affidavit with the Monroe County Clerk so your proof lands on the record without a trip downtown.

Why the Hearing Date Depends on a Quick Serve
Michigan rules fix how many days before a hearing a party has to be served, and a missed window can force an adjournment or a dismissal. Monroe County mixes tight city blocks, rural farm roads, and shoreline neighborhoods, so a server already working the area can reach a defendant in Dundee or a witness in Erie Township without lost time. Quick, documented service guards your hearing date and holds the case on schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Papers Delivered's role in a Monroe County case?
Papers Delivered is a private process serving company for hire, based in Troy and serving the entire state of Michigan. We serve documents and return the signed proof of service. We do not practice law, give legal advice or provide case status. For docket or hearing questions, contact the Monroe County Clerk.
What areas around the Monroe courthouse do you cover?
We serve papers across all of Monroe County, including the City of Monroe, Luna Pier, Petersburg, Dundee, Carleton, South Rockwood, and every township. We also handle service statewide when a party has moved out of the county.
Do you file the affidavit of service with the Monroe County Clerk?
Yes. Along with serving papers, we file our own notarized affidavit of service with the clerk at the Monroe County courthouse and return a stamped copy to you. Papers Delivered is a process server, not a law firm, so we do not file complaints, motions or any other pleading for you.
How do I get proof that service was completed?
After service we prepare a signed and notarized affidavit or proof of service that lists the date, time, place, and manner of service. This document meets Michigan court standards and can be filed with your case.
What happens if the recipient is avoiding service?
Every serve includes three attempts at varying times across days, evenings and weekends. When the address on the papers is stale or wrong, we work to identify a current one and keep attempting, so an evasive recipient does not stall your case. Each attempt is logged with its date, time and location, and audio-video documentation, GPS verification and time-stamped photographs are available as extra evidence on request.
Can you serve a business or its registered agent for this court?
Yes. Our servers work residences, businesses and registered agents. Every completed serve returns a notarized affidavit of service recording the date, time, place and manner of service.
