Title 18, U.S. Code – Sec. 1071.
Concealing person from arrest

Whoever harbors or conceals any person for whose arrest a warrant or process has been issued under the provisions of any law of the United States, so as to prevent his discovery and arrest, after notice or knowledge of the fact that a warrant or process has been issued for the apprehension of such person, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; except that if the warrant or process issued on a charge of felony, or after conviction of such person of any offense, the punishment shall be a fine under this title, or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both.

CIVIL PROCESS SERVERS

Are you filing a civil lawsuit or divorce action in Miami-Dade County? If so, you (or your attorney) will need to officially notify the “other side” that a case has been filed against them before your civil action can proceed. You may also need to subpoena persons to appear in court or produce certain documents.

The Certified Civil Process Servers Unit was created to relieve the burden of police departments who were using law enforcement personnel to serve court documents. Certified Civil Process Servers are individuals who are authorized by the Chief Judge to serve non-enforceable writs such as subpoenas, summonses, notices of hearings and requests for records.

Prof. Vernon M. Jones Jr., is a Certified Civil Process Server in Miami-Dade County – 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida.

Why do we need Notaries?

I have a dream - Jones

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted,
every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made
straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it
together.
