FAQ
Serving papers in Sterling Heights: common questions.
General information about Michigan court rules, not legal advice. Your attorney or the court clerk can answer questions about your specific case.
Who can serve papers in Sterling Heights?
Any legally competent adult who isn’t a party to the case, or an officer of a corporate party, under MCR 2.103(A).
How many tries do you make?
There’s no required number in the court rules. We agree on the number and timing of attempts with you up front.
Can you serve someone at their job?
Yes. A person can be served wherever they’re found. Let us know the employer and shift if you know them.
Is certified mail an option?
MCR 2.105(A)(2) allows registered or certified mail with return receipt and restricted delivery. It only works if the person signs. Personal service doesn’t depend on their cooperation.
