In the intricate world of civil law, success often hinges on following precise procedures. A missed deadline, an improperly delivered document, or a deviation from legal protocol can derail a case—leading to costly delays and frustrating outcomes.

For attorneys, landlords, business owners, and individuals across Boston, navigating these complexities is a daily challenge. That’s where Colon Constable Services steps in.

We are more than messengers—we are sworn officers of the court with the authority to execute civil process across Massachusetts. We act as the essential bridge between a court’s decision and its real-world enforcement. Our mission is simple: to provide an unwavering foundation of reliability, expertise, and professionalism so your legal objectives move forward without delay.

Every civil lawsuit begins with a core principle of the U.S. Constitution: due process. This guarantees that every party has the right to be notified and heard. Service of process is how that right is delivered.

At Colon Constable Services, we handle this step with the precision your case demands.

What We Serve

We cover the full spectrum of legal documents, including:

• Summons and Complaints (initiating lawsuits)
• Subpoenas for witnesses or documents
• Divorce Complaints, Child Support, and Probate Court papers
• Notices to Quit for evictions
• Small Claims Notices
• Citations and court orders

Why Proper Service Matters

If your service is improper, a judge can dismiss your case. That means lost time, wasted money, and starting over. We eliminate this risk. From acceptable hours of service to the exact methods allowed (in-hand, last and usual abode), we ensure every action is legally defensible.

Proof You Can Rely On

After successful service, we prepare and file the Return of Service—a sworn affidavit proving compliance. This document allows your case to move forward without question.

Handling Evasive Defendants

When someone is avoiding service, we don’t give up. Using ethical skip-tracing and investigative techniques, we locate and serve even the most elusive individuals.

Example: One Boston business owner came to us after trying for weeks to serve a former contractor who had disappeared. Within days, our team located the individual and completed service, saving the client weeks of delay.

The Massachusetts eviction process, or Summary Process, is one of the most complex in the country. A single mistake can restart the entire process. We help landlords and property managers avoid costly setbacks and regain possession lawfully.

Step 1: The Notice to Quit

This first step is critical. We ensure your 14-Day, 30-Day, or custom notice is properly drafted and served, establishing a valid basis for eviction.

Step 2: The Summons & Complaint

If the tenant fails to comply, we serve the official Summons and Complaint. Timely and proper service is essential for court jurisdiction—something we guarantee.

Step 3: Enforcing the Court’s Judgment

If you win, the court issues an Execution for Possession. We enforce it by:

• Serving the tenant with a 48-hour notice to vacate
• Coordinating movers and locksmiths if necessary
• Overseeing the lawful removal of tenants and belongings

Attempting “self-help” eviction is illegal. With us, you are fully protected by the law.

Winning in court is only half the battle—you still need to collect. We provide the legal authority and expertise to turn judgments into results.

• Small Claims Court: We ensure defendants are properly served with Statements of Claim.
• Supplementary Process: We compel debtors to appear in court and disclose assets.
• Writs of Attachment & Executions: We seize property, vehicles, or bank accounts under court order to satisfy your judgment.

Example: After winning a judgment, a Boston contractor turned to us to collect from a non-paying client. Through a bank attachment, we secured payment in full within weeks.

We are trusted by a wide range of clients across Boston and Suffolk County:

• Attorneys & Law Firms – Reliable service, fast updates, and airtight Returns of Service.
• Landlords & Property Managers – Complete eviction process handled correctly the first time.
• Businesses & Corporations – Demand letters, collections, and judgment enforcement with discretion.
• Individuals – Family court, small claims, and probate matters served with compassion and accuracy.

What is the difference between a Constable and a Sheriff?
Sheriffs are county officers who handle criminal and higher-court matters. Constables are appointed locally and focus on civil process. We specialize exclusively in civil law enforcement.

What areas do you serve?
We serve Boston, Suffolk County, and surrounding areas. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific town.

What if someone is avoiding service?
We make multiple attempts at different times, document every effort, and, if allowed, use alternate legal methods like “last and usual abode.”

What do you need from me to begin?
Original legal documents, best-known address(es), and any helpful details such as a physical description, work address, or vehicle information.

When deadlines and outcomes matter, choosing the right constable makes all the difference. Our service is built on four pillars:

• Unmatched Knowledge – Mastery of Massachusetts General Laws and Civil Procedure.
• Unyielding Professionalism – We represent the authority of the court with integrity.
• Clockwork Reliability – On-time service attempts, filings, and court submissions.
• Transparent Communication – Real-time updates so you’re never left in the dark.

Deadlines in Massachusetts courts are unforgiving. Don’t risk losing your case over a technicality or improper service. Partner with Colon Constable Services and let us handle the critical details with authority and precision.
