German Township Process Server Pricing

Montgomery County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
German Township summonses normally travel as the clerk's certified mail. Only a plaintiff's written request for personal or residence service puts the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server to work. The Montgomery County page has more.
Who May Serve Papers in Montgomery County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Montgomery County has municipal courts, so Civ.R. 4.1's bailiff provision matters: for defendants within a municipal court's territory the bailiff delivers, and for another county the sheriff does. A person designated by court order is the alternative either way, and the designation lasts at most a year.
