FAQ
Read each question (interrogatory) very carefully. Answer only the question that is asked, and avoid the temptation to over-explain your answer. If the question contains several parts, you may break your answer into parts as well. It is also possible that you might object to the question.
Interrogatories may, without leave of court, be served upon the plaintiff after filing of the complaint and upon any other party with or after service of the summons and complaint upon that party.
In California, you have 30 days to respond to an interrogatory. If you do not respond within this time, the opposing side can file a motion to compel with the court. The court may require them to first consult with you about your failure to respond before officially filing a motion to compel.
An interrogatory is not objectionable merely because it asks for an opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to fact, but the court may order that the interrogatory need not be answered until designated discovery is complete, or until a pretrial conference or some other time.
Interrogatories are written questions that: • Seek detailed facts and information about the litigation issues • Request documents relevant to the required answers See N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 3131. The responding party must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing under the penalties of perjury.

If the server consistently fails to reach you despite multiple attempts, they may resort to alternative legal methods or petition the court for permission to use alternative means of service. Most process servers typically make multiple attempts to serve legal documents, often ranging from three to five attempts.
A person serving papers must be 18 years of age or older and must not be a party to the case (CPLR 2103a). Papers may be served by a process server, friend or relative of a party so long as he or she is not a party to the case.
