“In an industry that lacks tools for efficiency and accountability, ServeManager is an application that meets the needs of a process server when it comes to running their business,” ServeNow co-founder and Chief Technical Officer Trent Carlyle explained. “It also meets the needs of a high-volume law firm that needs immediate access to job statuses.”

The software was developed and designed with extensive input from members of the process serving industry, and new features are consistently being considered as additional feedback comes through.

Some ServeManager features include:
> Accounting and Invoicing
> Tools for managing customer relationships and interactions
> Job sharing and collaboration options
> Improved usability and a clean new interface
> Improved mobile interface
> More control over collaboration and data sharing
> More affidavit options

ServeManager also has a mobile interface and can be accessed from any smartphone, tablet, or internet-accessible device. Part of the benefit in the mobile app is the integration of GPS and tracking data that can be associated with attempts. This provides checks and balances in that the process server can assure both their client and the court that the service attempt occurred at that date and time.

New features are consistently being released. For the latest information, updates, webinars, and more, click here. ServeManager is also backed by a support team happy to answer questions, demonstrate how the software works, and get feedback on the software.

“The New Jersey Professional Process Servers Association has a great certification program and educational tools,” ServeNow.com co-founder Trent Carlyle explained. “We’re excited that we were able to provide them with a clean and easy-to-use website to help grow and advance their membership.”

NJPPSA was founded by a group of process servers across the state to improve relations between the professional process service industry, the legal community, the courts, and the general public. The association encourages its members and those who work in the process service industry to seek education and training by providing programs that promote only the best standards of practice. To further the mission of the association, the recent website updates were launched. The new site was built to display a modernized platform to create a higher opportunity to grow as an association and become more apparent within the legal community.

“An assault on anyone should be a felony! A process server who is serving court papers is representing a court of law,” writes Keith Burch from Westby, Wisconsin. Many signers have shared similar views when commenting on why they signed the petition. Jerry Phillips from Edinboro, Pennsylvania writes, “Process servers are officers of the court. We have every legal right to serve individuals and companies. We should be treated the same as a constable or law enforcement officer.”

There are many friends and family members that are concerned with the lack of legislation. Keonta Johnson from Baton Rouge, Louisiana writes, “I have a cousin who is a process server . . . I am strongly in support of the safety of my cousin’s life as well as the other individuals who do their jobs.” Himyo Green from Piscataway, New Jersey adds, “I have friends and family that work in this profession and would like them to be protected.”

Other signers reference locations where there are laws already in place to protect process servers. Maya Solis from Walnut Creek, California writes, “I live in California, where it is a felony to assault a process server, and urge all other states to follow suit . . . This law is necessary to keep all servers safe.”

As of today California, Florida, and Illinois are the only states that have passed laws to protect process servers from assault though others are pushing to make those legislation changes. Recently an attorney in Illinois was arrested for aggravated assault on a process server. This is not the normal repercussion in most states, however, and why PAAPRS is raising awareness on the subject. Numerous legal associations, process servers, and organizations have joined together to create the PAAPRS campaign.

“The goal of this petition was to raise awareness about this important issue. This petition is doing just that,” ServeNow.com co-founder Trent Carlyle explained. “The people signing this petition aren’t just process servers. They are friends, family members, and legal professionals. The support is amazing, and it will only continue to grow.”

Confluence Magazine recently published an article about the expansion of Lawgical to house five new employees in marketing, audiovisual production, and communication. Lawgical CTO Trent Carlyle was quoted numerous times.

Excerpts:

“We’ve grown like crazy over the years,” says Carlyle. “We like to say that we’re always in startup mode. We’re always looking for the next exciting thing that will help us grow.”

The one thing Carlyle and company aren’t looking for is investment capital. “We don’t have any investors and we’re for the most part debt-free,” he says.

Lawgical bought an old factory in RiNo as its offices in October 2012. “We’ve always been flying under the radar,” says Carlyle. “This space allows us to get involved in the community even if we serve a very niche market.”

As Legal Talk Network joined Lawgical’s existing roster of legal support brands, including ServeNow.com, PInow.com, and AboutBail.com, the company chose to shift production to an existing Lawgical office. With readily available space and resources in Lawgical’s Denver office, Legal Talk Network made the move.

“We’re excited to make Denver the home of Legal Talk Network,” Lawgical co-founder and CTO Trent Carlyle explained. “Denver was named a top 10 city for tech startups by USA Today, and even though Legal Talk Network is already well-established, it will be great to see the network contribute to the local tech community and help it grow.” Carlyle noted that although production is now based in Denver the hosts and show guests are scattered across various cities throughout the country.

With a move to the area came the opportunity to re-evaluate the show’s equipment, production process, and general needs. During the network’s acquisition period, nearly every component of the recording and editing process was audited, along with every piece of gear and equipment. The processing gear was pulled, re-evaluated, and ultimately upgraded where it would improve the clarity of the content. From outboard hardware to internal software, the studio and its capabilities have been fully re-envisioned.

“This was an opportunity to build the ideal studio for Legal Talk Network,” Lawgical CEO Adam Camras explained. “The new facility has been designed from the ground up using the many years of previous podcast development as a knowledgebase for where production needed improvement and where processes were already working smoothly. It’s given us the opportunity to really take a look at how we can improve these podcasts and ultimately expand our listener-base and grow the network.”

Two podcasts, Taking Control of Your Mobile Apps and Digital Cameras in Law: Are Smartphones Good Enough?mark the network’s first productions from the Denver studio. Both podcasts were for the network’s Kennedy-Mighell report, hosted by attorneys Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell. Podcast quality is still projected to improve as new equipment continues to be incorporated.

The donated process serving services will support the pro bono work that law firms perform on behalf of low-income individuals. ServeNow.com will provide pro bono process serving services to current subscribers of Pro Bono Net, Pro Bono Net’s practice management service for law firm pro bono programs.

Working with ServeNow.com, Pro Bono Net hopes to help its law firm partners spend more of their financial resources serving low income communities rather than on administrative costs. The ServeNow.com service will also provide pro bono lawyers with peace of mind knowing that their documents are entrusted to individuals who have been pre-screened and vetted. The time-consuming process of finding and communicating with process servers also takes away from time pro bono advocates can use on behalf of their clients.

“It’s great to team up with Pro Bono Net and be able to donate services,” Co-founder and CEO of ServeNow.com Adam Camras said. “We look forward to connecting Pro Bono Manager™ subscribers with members of our trusted network of process servers.”
