Substituted service

Some assignments allow documents to be delivered to an authorized recipient instead of directly to the person named. We review the requirements for your matter before using that approach.

Send the instructions with your documents.

Include any attorney instructions or court order that applies to service. The permitted method depends on the documents, the governing rules, and the circumstances of the assignment.

Someone being home does not automatically make them an authorized recipient. We document the attempt and the outcome, without promising a completed serve before the facts are known.
