How to Serve a Lawsuit with Ease

Having trouble serving a lawsuit?

Does your debtor claim they were never sued?

Are you sick and tired of debtors making up excuses?

A good way to cover all your serving bases is to make copies of the summons, complaint, and exhibits for each defendant in the case and then serve each of your defendants in three separate ways.

1. Service by regular mail – Send a copy of the paperwork to each defendant by regular first-class mail.
2. Service by certified mail – Send another copy of the documents to each defendant by certified mail and request a return receipt. Keep the certified mail card when it comes back from the post office; this slip is crucial because it contains the defendant’s signature and proves that he or she received and signed for the certified mail.
3. Service by process server – For each defendant, you give a copy of all the forms to a process server, along with an extra copy of the summons. The process server will hand deliver a copy of your documents to the defendant and completes a proof of service on the second copy of the summons and files it with the court.
