When a court summons is issued does the alguacil or other recognized authority must hand deliver the summons to the defendant or are there other options?
When under other options, what happens if the defendant deliberately has avoided disclosing his whereabouts, possibly residing out of country? There is no known home address but there is a business address in country advertised in signage and operated the defendant?s name. Can a summons be delivered at the business even if not handed to the defendant? Can a summons be delivered as another option to a lawyer that is known to represent the defendant in an on and going court case at this time?
Regards,
PJT
