Why are attorneys the most difficult ones to serve?

It was a beautiful day one afternoon in Scottsboro, Alabama. I had to serve an attorney in town. Of course, the office was closed because it was Sunday, and I was reassigned to deliver the documents to the attorney’s resident.

I contacted the attorney to say that I had some important legal documents for them. Now you think attorneys would know better than try to avoid or to refuse service, right? But no, this attorney wanted to bow up on me and say that it is Sunday and that they’re not working. As you know, the wheels of justice keep rolling and really doesn’t stop for weekends.

I think their ego gets the best of them sometime. And they think that maybe the law doesn't apply to them. I don't know. But, if you're an attorney reading this please note that if someone should deliver legal paperwork to you, you should by all means except the service. Not doing so can result in criminal charges. Whoever knowingly resists or obstructs the authorized service or execution of any civil or criminal process or order of any court commits a Class B misdemeanor.

When you get an order from the court, it’s in your best interest to see what it’s about in order to adequately prepare for your case no matter your occupation.
