Service with a smile is more than a business motto for Amanda Ecker. It's a proactive self-defense mechanism, along with a Taser or pepper spray when necessary. Because the normally metaphoric saying, "Don't shoot the messenger," is a very real risk in her job as a process server.
A Long Island-based process server who was accused of leaving thousands of New Yorkers unaware that they had been sued for unpaid debts, subjecting many of them to surprise judgments, liens and wage garnishments, has pleaded guilty to fraud. William Singler, owner of American Legal Process, entered the plea Friday in Nassau County Supreme Court, admitting to one count of a class E felony. He is to be sentenced March 24 and still faces a civil suit in which New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is seeking damages and penalties.
An Erie County process server was released on her own recognizance after her arraignment for allegedly filing false affidavits of service with the Cattaraugus County Clerk. Annette Forte, 34, of Broadway in Alden claimed that she served papers on individuals when she had not, according to the state attorney general's office, leaving those individuals with no notice of pending court actions against them. This led to default judgments that could include wage garnishment, the seizure of bank accounts and other assets or negative impact on credit ratings.
There is a process to this thing, Rick Neuheisel wants you to know, and it cannot be altered in sunshine or rain, in good times or bad, even if a bowl appearance in Year 2 means optimism and even if a host of injuries dampens that optimism. There is a process to this thing, and three consecutive premier recruiting classes won't speed it back up. Losing three of the talented freshmen from the 2010 class won't slow it down, and even turmoil across town that has left the chief rival reeling will not speed it up.
A prominent Towson lawyer has been acquitted of assaulting a process server who was trying to give him divorce papers. Baltimore County District Judge Bruce S. Lamdin heard more than 90 minutes of testimony before finding Hodes Ulman Pessin & Katz Managing Partner Michael C. Hodes not guilty of attacking the server, Steven M. Silver, in July.
Attorney Tom Irvine was working in his law office on the afternon of Dec. 31, 2008, when a process server dropped two lawsuits on him, filed by then-Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas. That set off a flurry of phone calls that afternoon, a mountain of work for the next year-and-a-half and copious amounts of stress, he said.
