“The defendant is avoiding service…what do I do?”
Filing your lawsuit is hard enough and getting it served in North Carolina should be a straightforward process, but savvy defendants have found ways to dodge your attempts so far. You attempted certified mail, and got no signatures back. The sheriff said they are unable to serve, and you have already spent too much time and money sending the sheriff out. You have thought about posting an ad in the newspaper, but sometimes legal ads will not achieve the remedy you desire or deserve. An experienced creditors’ rights attorney knows how to assist you in finding appropriate options for serving your defendant.
Please consult an attorney before considering your next step.
