What Is Capitol Constable Service?

Updated

Capitol Constable Service, LLC is a Massachusetts-based constable business that serves legal documents and offers mobile notary service. It has operated since 1990 and is located at 29 Lowell Street, Suite 3, Peabody, Massachusetts 01960, next to the Peabody District Court in downtown Peabody. If you need civil process served in the Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Danvers, or Lynn area, or you need a mobile notary on the greater North Shore, this is the type of provider you would contact.

What the business does

The site describes two main service categories:

  • Service of legal documents. Capitol Constable Service and its associates describe more than 30 years of experience serving legal documents in Massachusetts.
  • Mobile notary service. Available for the greater North Shore area.

The company profile identifies Christopher P. Chigas ("Chris") as a Bonded Constable with authority to serve all civil process in Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Danvers, and Lynn. The site also notes that many other types of court process and notices do not require service by an appointed or elected constable, and directs visitors to the services page or a phone call to ask about other areas around the greater North Shore.

Types of process listed

The site lists specific categories of work:

Category Detail given on the site
Summons and Complaints As of 7/1/87, with no Ad Damnum stated, or up to $7,000.00 if stated in the complaint
Writs and Trustee Process Under $7,000.00, or any amount with an approved 4c motion
Other services Listed on the Services page

A constable's authority is limited to the cities or towns where they are appointed or elected, which is why the site names the specific municipalities above rather than claiming statewide coverage.

How to place an order

The site offers two ordering paths:

  1. Order online. Fill out, sign, and send the form you need through the website.
  2. Print and send. Print the form and send it by email or fax.

Forms are available under the "Order Forms" section of the site.

What the site does not tell you

The site states that costs are "reasonable and competitive" but does not publish a price list, fee schedule, or payment methods. It also does not state turnaround times, service-area limits beyond the named towns, or whether online ordering requires an account. For pricing or coverage questions outside the listed towns, the site's own guidance is to check the Services page or call the office.
