What If Someone Is Trying To Deliver Service Of Process (Serve A Lawsuit)
If the process server is attempting "scare tactics" - with enough confidence (and never identifying oneself or age) - the server can be told to leave the property or area for disturbing the peace. Do not answer any other questions, do not engage in conversation, do not take anything handed forward.
Eventually, the service of process will be completed and one will be required to show up in court. One who is avoiding a process server will ask a judge to allow the papers to be left at the "last known address" for one's home or business with any competent person over the age of 18. A judge may also allow the summons to be mailed to the home or business address via certified mail. If either of these methods fail, the judge may allow the person looking to take legal action against, to post notices in local newspapers.
