Trumbull County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk normally mails process by certified mail. A written request from the plaintiff is what brings a sheriff, a bailiff or a court-designated server to the door.
Who May Serve Process in Trumbull County: Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 recognizes personal service on the defendant and residence service with a suitable person living at the home. In common pleas cases the clerk passes those papers to the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office; municipal courts use their bailiff. A court may instead designate a person by order, for no more than a year, who has sworn to the 4.1(D) requirements. Service not done in 28 days goes back to the clerk with reasons.
