Do You Need A Connecticut State Marshal?

In Connecticut, a Connecticut State Marshal or a Constable are the only officials authorized by law to serve Civil Process.

A Connecticut State Marshal is appointed to work as a independent contractor, as well as a public officer with the status of peace officer, to make service of process in civil judicial and administrative proceedings and to do legal executions. A Connecticut State Marshal is appointed by a county to work within their county unless authorized by law to go to other counties, or to work statewide.

A Connecticut State Marshal is not a state employee. A Connecticut State Marshal is a individual engaged in the profession of performing critical functions necessary to the fair, efficient and effective administration of the judicial and administrative law system and the enforcement of judgments, and orders. A Connecticut State Marshal is a essential part of implementing the constitutional rights of individuals to access to courts and due remedies.

A Connecticut State Marshal is hired directly by citizens, attorneys, the state, businesses, or others who need to give notice to others of civil court proceedings, such as court and small claims actions, subpoenas, family court orders, or administrative proceedings, or other areas where civil process is needed. A Connecticut State Marshal is also hired to enforce the collection of judgments, or other court or administrative orders, in which money needs to be collected or property claimed. Such actions include wage, bank and property executions, evictions and tax warrants.
