Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

Hello,

A few days ago I was served a summons to appear in court for a medical bill collection but the summons was not given to me. The guy came to my sisters house where I am currently staying and he handed it to her after she told him I would be back later. The summons was not in an envelope therefore my sister was able to read the summons. Is it legal for them to just hand the papers to whomever?

They can serve anyone 15 or over where you reside. Most importantly, you should hire an attorney to represent you. The attorney can save you more than he costs you. I have handled many such cases over the last 36 years. Feel free to contact me directly for a consultation at no cost.
