Civil Process

One  of the most important duties of the Sheriff has always been to execute  and serve the various processes issued by and for the courts of  Virginia. The Sheriff shares this responsibility in the area of criminal  processes with other agencies, but for civil cases and processes, the  responsibility is held by the Sheriff alone.

The  Greensville County Sheriff’s Office Civil Process Division processes  hundreds of summons, court orders, judgments and subpoenas per month.

These  give the parties notice that the court is considering taking some type  of action which has been requested by the plaintiff. Preserve the status  quo: temporary and permanent protective orders to prevent parties from  performing acts that would cause harm to other persons involved, until  the matter is settled in the courts.

Once  paperwork is received the Sheriff’s office will do their best to serve  your paperwork and assist with any information. The Sheriff’s office  charges a basic fee that is served per civil action. Contact us for more  information on fees that may be required by the Sheriff’s Office.
