We will not give special treatment to any one person or attorney's office. To do so would be in violation of state statute. We will serve the papers as they are submitted to our office and we will not make any service a priority if we have others that were subsequently received and have not yet been executed. A private process server may be contacted for more expedited service.
Service Exceptions:
Temporary / Permanent Protection Orders are served immediately.
If after 4:30 p.m. or weekends, contact the Aspen / Pitkin Communications Center (dispatch) at 970-920-5310.

We will attempt to achieve a service up to 4 times, including both day and night attempts. If we are not able to serve the papers after the fourth attempt, we will return the papers to you. There will still be a fee assessed for the processing of the unserved documents and the mileage for any attempts that were made.
