Why PCA
Why PCA may cost more than another server
We don't.
Some process servers attract clients with a low initial quote, only to add charges for mileage, additional attempts, commissioning, administration, and other unexpected expenses. PCA provides a clear, flat-rate price before service begins. You know what is included and what the file will cost—no hidden fees and no surprises.
In most jurisdictions, process servers do not need a special licence. Almost anyone can take your documents and attempt service. The real risk often becomes apparent afterwards, when you need that person to prepare a complete and accurate affidavit or other proof of service.
Every assignment can involve different court rules, specific service requirements, important documents, and multiple exhibits. If the method of service or affidavit does not properly address those details, the court will reject the filing. That can delay the proceeding, increase costs, and require service to be completed again—with no guarantee the same server will get it right the second time.
PCA removes that uncertainty. Our team reviews the requirements, manages the service, and prepares or reviews the resulting proof. Your complete price and scope are confirmed before work begins.
Clear pricing. Proper service. Reliable proof. Let us show you why PCA is the first choice for professional process serving.
Filing-ready completion materials
PCA drafts or reviews the affidavit and arranges commissioning where applicable. Law firms are not asked to prepare our proof or spend billable time correcting incomplete work.
Clear flat-rate accountability
The standard scope is confirmed before work begins, with meaningful updates and no hidden ordinary-attempt or travel charges.

Local Service Context
Coordinating service in Duncan
Cowichan Valley files often involve greater travel and more varied access conditions than a compact urban assignment. A single route may move between a downtown office, a rural acreage, and a lakeside community, so accurate address information and practical planning matter. PCA confirms the target address, deadline, and likely access conditions before the server is dispatched. Our legal team then prepares and reviews the affidavit of service from the server's notes, which reduces the risk of a rejected filing or repeat work. Court filing and document retrieval at the Duncan registry can also be coordinated through the same file when required.

Additional Court Support
Process serving is our core service
The large majority of our files are process-serving assignments. Court filing and physical court-file scanning can be coordinated through the same team, so the client does not need to manage multiple vendors for one proceeding.
Primary Service
Process Serving
We review the applicable requirements, coordinate the service attempts, provide regular updates, and draft and review the supporting affidavit internally. Flat-rate pricing keeps the assignment simple to approve and budget.
Court Filing
We can arrange physical filing or lodgement at the relevant court registry and return the available confirmation, subject to the court's filing rules and applicable fees.
Court Scanning
A court agent can attend the courthouse, access available physical records, and create digital copies in accordance with court-access rules, file availability, and applicable fees.
One-stop file support
More than a server at the door.
Skip tracing
Address searches can be coordinated when the recipient's location is uncertain.
Commissioning and notarization
We coordinate the required oath, commissioning, or notarization step for completion materials.
Affidavit drafting and review
Proof of service is drafted and reviewed internally because errors can delay the proceeding.
International service coordination
Cross-border and Hague Convention files can be managed through the same accountable team.
Built for every client
Expert coordination without the uncertainty.
For law firms and organizations
Send the file once and reclaim the administrative time normally spent locating an agent, giving instructions, chasing attempts, arranging courthouse work, and correcting proof of service. We provide one accountable contact and regular updates throughout the assignment in Duncan.
For self-represented litigants
Formal service can feel unfamiliar and high-stakes. We explain our service process clearly, confirm a fair price before work begins, coordinate the assignment, and return organized proof of service so you are not left trying to manage multiple providers alone.
