Each court sets how far before the hearing the defendant must be served. The clerk confirms your deadline when the hearing date is set. SPECIAL: Service of process occurs BEFORE claims are filed in court. Original documents required - plaintiff must mail to Squabble, then to ABC Legal.
Service is proved on paper. The server completes and signs a form, and it is filed before the matter is heard.
