In order for us to serve the paperwork we will need a praecipe or instructions as what to serve and whom to serve. We will need a physical address for this service not a post office box number. It is the responsibility for the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney to find the physical address not the Sheriff’s Office.
We will need the original and a copy per person to be served. Once served, the original will be sent back to the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorney. Small Claims Court will be the exception. The original will be sent back to the court.
If the paperwork is not correct it will be sent back with a reason as to why it was unable to be served.
