The Complete Guide to Using a Constable in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, a constable is a legal professional authorized to serve court documents, enforce certain legal actions, and ensure official notices are delivered properly. Many residents and businesses are unaware of the benefits of using a constable over other options, such as traditional process servers. Colon Constable Services (CCS) has decades of experience helping clients across Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Quincy, and beyond navigate these legal requirements efficiently and reliably.

Constables in Massachusetts have unique legal authority, which includes:

  • Serving court documents such as summonses, complaints, and eviction notices.
  • Enforcing eviction proceedings for landlords or property management companies.
  • Collecting unpaid fines or civil judgments under legal authorization.
  • Executing official notifications for government entities or private parties.

Unlike standard process servers, constables may have additional powers under Massachusetts law, which makes them a preferred choice for many legal actions.

You might need a constable if you are:

  • A landlord serving eviction notices or lease terminations.
  • A business owner delivering legal summonses to clients or partners.
  • A law firm or attorney requiring official notice delivery.
  • Handling civil or small claims enforcement.

Using a constable ensures compliance with Massachusetts law and avoids delays that could occur with improper document service.
