Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Re: served papers

Yes

Re: served papers

Yes. Personal service is the general requirement. This may be made on the defendant whereever he or she may be found. Service also may be made by handing a copy of the original process to an adult family member or other adult in charge of defendant's residence or to defendant's agent or other person in charge of his or her office or usual place of business.

These are the basics of service of original process that are found in Rule 402 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. There are additional rules governing service. You should consult an attorney for legal advice on your particular situation.
