FAQ
In Maryland, whomever you are serving the papers to must be the direct recipient of served papers. This means that you have to serve the individual in question directly.
Your private process server must hand deliver the summons to the defendant. The process server may also leave the papers at the defendant's house with an adult who also lives there. Your private process server must then complete an affidavit of service. This is form CC-DR-055.
You may not serve the defendant yourself. Someone else, 18 or older, who is not involved in the case, must serve the defendant. There are three ways to serve someone: by certified mail, sheriff, and private process. Select how you wish to have the Defendant served by checking the box on your Complaint form.
Rule 2-126 - Process-Return (a) Service by Delivery or Mail. An individual making service of process by delivery or mailing shall file proof of the service with the court promptly and in any event within the time during which the person served must respond to the process.
Substituted service simply means the server may leave papers with a substitute, whether it be a trustworthy adult, a relative or co-worker, or someone else over the age of 18 at the same household, same house, or same workplace.
Serving the Wrong Person If legal documentation is served to the wrong person, it's grounds for the opposing counsel to contest the service entirely and force the legal team to restart the case. In some instances, you may even forfeit prior judgements that ruled in your favor.
Yes. There are time limits governing when a creditor can sue you for a debt. These laws are called the statute of limitations. In Maryland, the statute of limitations requires that a lawsuit be filed within three years for written contracts, and 3 years for open accounts, such as credit cards.
(a) General Rule. A party shall file an answer to an original complaint, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim within 30 days after being served, except as provided by sections (b) and (c) of this Rule.
An attorney who has a lien under Code, Business Occupations and Professions Article, § 10-501, may assert the lien by serving a written notice by certified mail or personal delivery upon the client and upon each person against whom the lien is to be enforced.
It depends. If the court has invalidated the lien then it could be instantaneous. If you need to contact the “lienholder ” and negotiate then it could take as long as it takes. Unless the courts have invalidated the lien it will be up to how fast the “lienholder” moves.
