About Us

Paper Trails Process Serving Inc. is a process serving company based out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, serving and filing all your legal documents in all of Ontario. We understand the importance of keeping costs to a minimum* so in order to do this we eliminate the "middle man". We do the work ourselves. This is how we guarantee to have the lowest prices on all your local Hamilton serves and filings. No other Hamilton, Ontario based process serving company offers this guarantee.

*Based on some of our local competitor's fee structure. We can save you up to 60% on your process serving needs.

All affidavits that are commissioned are included in our prices. If an affidavit needs to be notarized (out of Province) a fee is involved (you pay what we pay). No hidden or administration fees ever.

If your documents are not time sensitive and they are going great distances, we can send them to one of our agents that we work with throughout Canada.

Your documents can be mailed or e mailed, or we can pick them up (Hamilton law firms only or if the court house that the papers need to be filed at are on the way), all at no charge.

Great rates and great service is what sets us apart from the competition.
