Our Story
It Started With A
Favor For A Friend.
Gerald Colasurdo was a chemical engineer when an attorney friend needed a document served and had no one to do it. Jerry stepped in. That one serve turned into a business — and that business became DGR Legal.
What Jerry built from that first serve wasn't just a company. It was a standard. The conviction that process service, done with integrity and precision, is essential to the legal system — and that it deserves to be treated that way.
Over forty years later, DGR is led by the same values that started it. We have grown, added technology, expanded our reach to 88 countries and all 50 states — but the standard has never moved.
"For us, our relationships with our clients and making sure their cases move forward is at the center of everything we do."
DGR is one of the few process service companies in New Jersey that employs its servers directly — not independent contractors, not gig workers dispatched through an app. Every server who carries a DGR document is trained, background-checked, and accountable to us and to you.
That distinction matters more than people realize. When service is contested, the quality of your server's training and documentation is what protects your case. We have never taken that lightly.
Jerry went on to found and serve as president of the New Jersey Professional Process Servers Association. That same leadership and commitment to the profession runs through everything DGR does today.

Choose Us — and Stay.
The difference is not one thing. It is the combination of every decision we make about how to run this company.
Employees Only
Every server in New Jersey is a DGR employee. Trained, supervised, background-checked. Not a gig worker from an app who has never met us.
Real-Time Tracking
GPS-verified attempts. Photo documentation. Status updates the moment something happens. No calling us to find out where your serve stands.
Continuous Training
Court rules change. Service requirements evolve. Our team receives ongoing training to stay current so your documents are always served correctly.
Court-Ready Affidavits
Every affidavit is reviewed before submission. Downloadable instantly on completion. Because when service is contested, the paperwork has to be bulletproof.

Choose Us — and Stay.
Our Mission
To be the most ethical, compliant, and quality process service company in the legal community — through the use of trained employees, leading technology, and unwavering integrity.
This is not aspirational language. It is the operational standard we hold ourselves to on every single case that comes through our doors — whether it is a routine serve in Morris County or an international matter routed through the Hague Convention.
Ethics
In every action, every decision, every conversation. Non-negotiable, across every level of the company.
Compliance
State rules, federal rules, court-specific requirements — we know them, we follow them, and we make sure every serve reflects them.
Respect
For our clients, our employees, and the people we encounter in the field. This business runs on relationships.
Accountability
We own our work product. Every affidavit, every attempt, every update. If something needs fixing, we fix it.
Professionalism
Reliability, competence, and integrity — in how we present ourselves, how we serve documents, and how we represent your firm in the field.
Our Team
The People Behind
Every Serve.
DGR is led by a team with decades of combined experience in process service, legal operations, national and international service coordination, and business development. Many of our team members have been with us for over a decade — some for over twenty years.
That kind of tenure does not happen by accident. It is the result of a company that invests in its people, treats them well, and gives them the tools and training to do their jobs at the highest level. That investment pays forward to every client we serve.
