PROCESS SERVER
Why then a registered process server? Because having a registered process server serve has its advantages. It's well worth it for the $60-75 that you pay them to do it.
For one thing, service Is presumed to be valid if a properly executed proof of service is signed by the registered process server. Recently, the California Second Appellate District so held. (see Palm Property Investments, LLC v. Yadegar (May 2011) In that case, the landlord presented at trial a proof of service by the registered process server but didn't call him to testify, after the landlord rested, the tenant moved for judgment arguing that the landlord failed to meet his burden of proof that the 3-Day Notice To Pay Rent Or Quit had been properly served - and therefore the unlawful detainer was not valid. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court. So we now know for sure that if you represent the landlord, you don't have to call - and pay- the registered process server to attend trial. All you need to do is to have a proof of service signed by him admitted into evidence. That can be easily done as long as you lay proper foundation for business records exception.
Also, A Proof of Service by a registered process server is given more weight than a self-serving testimony by the tenant. You'll find that most judges tend to believe the proof of service over the live testimony of the tenant. A tenant just can't say," I wasn't served" and expect the judge to believe him. Not even jury will believe the words of the tenant over that a neutral.
Now, if it is the landlord himself that's served the 3-Day Notice, then it is a more difficult decision for the trial court as both parties are biased in their testimony and motivated to lie.
There's much point in asking a friend to serve 3-Day notice because (1) he may not necessarily be unbiased because he's your friend and the court may not find him to be completely impartial, and (2) you can't rely on the proof of service signed by him and not call him to testify.
The bottom line - Is it worth saving that $60-75? What about the inconvenience to your witnesses to have to attend trial? Also what if you or they would have to be out of town and can't attend trial and trial would have to be continued for that reason.
