The Process Server (TPS) Proper Addressing of Confidential Summons to Place of Employment
In legal proceedings, there are instances when serving a summons directly to a defendant proves challenging. In such cases, sending the summons to the defendant's place of employment can be an effective alternative. It is crucial to address the envelope properly to ensure confidentiality and compliance with legal standards, especially without indicating that the communication concerns an alleged debt. At TPS, The Process Server, we ensure that all legal document services, including alternative notice methods, are executed with precision and discretion.
