Small claims cases handle smaller disputes, and the defendant still must be properly served.
Process servers deliver the small claims complaint and notice of hearing when certified mail fails or a faster method is needed.
Pin Tip
Check your court’s small claims dollar limit and service options before filing.
When Mail Does Not Work
If certified mail is refused or unclaimed, personal service can help keep the case moving.
