Yes. The defendant must be personally served with a copy of the summons and complaint (as a party in the action, you cannot be the one to serve it), and a proof of service must be filed with the court. Without a proof of service attesting to proper service of the summons and complaint on the defendant, the case cannot proceed. If you would like to discuss the issue further, please give me a call (213) 381-6557 or email me ([email protected]).

All the best,
