Category: Legal

Value: $15

Status: AWAITING CUSTOMER ACTION

Answer

It is supposed to be delivered to the person being subpoened in person. But if the person will not take it, the process server can leave it, for ex, at their feet, and that person is served. It does not have to be in their hand.
