Can someone legally serve you a subpoena by leaving it on your front or back porch?

Legal subpoenas

It depends on the state you are in. In some states service can be made on any adult at the residence, and if someone will not open the door to accept service it can be left on the premises.

If you have the subpoena then you've been successfully served.

A subpoena must be served on the individual ordered to appear. In some states a law enforcement officer or process server must personally serve it, whereas other states allow service by mail or with a telephone call. It is most often used to compel witnesses to appear at a civil or criminal trial.
Sorry don't know what State your in so I can not say specifically, but yes its possible would help I we knew the state.


rachel&scotty
No. They must actually give it to you.

Usually you have to sign for a subpoena..in person contact with the server., to ensure that you recieved it
