MURRIETA, CA. For most people, encountering a Process Server is something they will never do. However, in the legal system, they are one of the key components to a lawsuit. Cynthia Mota of www.SouthlandCourtServices.co began working with lawyers and family law litigants in San Diego, before opening an office in Murrieta. “This area probably has the highest divorce rate, per capita” Mota says.
