A legal courier service provider is responsible for many things, such as making sure their legal couriers maintain confidentiality, have experience, know proper packaging, maintain pick-up and delivery times, and do it all in a cost-effective manner for their clients. Their couriers expected duties also range from document retrieval to court filings to staging of records.

How they do it

Therefore, all legal messengers of Ascent Courier have experience ad training in dealing with adverse situations that may occur while delivering legal documents or packages.

Packaging:

As a result, our trained legal couriers safely package and transport your documents in a timely manner, giving you peace of mind.

Delivery speeds:

In the legal system, it is important for things to be delivered, documented, and filed to prevent any delays in a case. Legal courier services train their legal messengers to be familiar with their local courthouses, justice buildings, and the surrounding city. This allows the legal courier to quickly navigate the fastest route from pickup to delivery, ensuring the parcel is taken care of before it can cause any delays. At Ascent Courier, our legal messengers are all natives of their cities and can deliver your parcel quickly and securely.

Cost:

What they do:

Court filing:

It is expected that a legal courier service has trained their legal messenger to file any and all legal documents with the clerk of courts.

Our team of legal couriers is familiar with local, municipal, state, and federal courts and can have your document filed and delivered as quickly as possible while maintaining your privacy.

Document Retrieval:

An essential task that every legal courier should be trained to be able to do is retrieve a document. However, document retrieval could take a great amount of time to do, having to wait for the court to find the documents in the archives. Therefore, legal couriers should know precisely where to go for document retrieval and get all the required information to do so. At Ascent Courier, our legal messengers are trained to handle document retrievals as quickly and securely as possible, giving our clients piece of mind that everything will be handled promptly and properly.
