For a Subpoena, the Court Officer is required by law to make three attempts at personal service. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, of these three; one attempt must be made on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday). These attempts must be made and completed a minimum of 10 days before the hearing date. Once the Court Officer has completed his attempts, you will be contacted with either a copy of the proof of service or an explanation of the next step.
