CAN I BE SERVED LEGAL DOCUMENTS AT WORK?

QUESTION: What are the regulations for serving legal documents? Can anyone go to your place of employment and serve you with legal documents?

MY RESPONSE: Anyone who is at least 18 years of age, other than a party in the case, can personally serve documents wherever they can find the person to serve [i.e, at home, at work, on the sidewalk, etc.].

The process server must properly complete and sign a Proof of Service under penalty of perjury, and if the party who is served contests the service, the process server should be available to testify as to the facts of the service.
