Summary

I am a pro se plaintiff in a case pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. My complaint has already been drafted, attorney-reviewed, filed, and docketed. I am not looking for legal drafting or legal advice. I need an experienced federal litigation paralegal or litigation support professional who is familiar with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, particularly Rule 4(i) and Rule 4(m). Tasks include: Review the federal docket. Determine whether summonses have been issued and, if not, assist me in obtaining them. Print all required documents. Prepare all service packets. Arrange service on all required federal defendants under Rule 4(i), including certified mail and/or process server as required. Prepare and file proofs of service (or prepare them for my signature if required). Ensure service is completed before my upcoming Rule 4(m) deadline. I would like to hire someone today and have this handled as quickly as possible. Please respond only if you have experience with U.S. federal civil litigation and service of process.
