Medina County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
A written request for personal or residence service moves a summons from the clerk's certified mail to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Medina County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A defendant who dodges a certified letter can still be served, and Ohio's rules say how. If the mailing comes back refused or unclaimed, Civ.R. 4.6 has the clerk tell the plaintiff, and on written request mail again by ordinary mail. Plaintiffs also turn to personal or residence service under Civ.R. 4.1, which runs through the sheriff or a court-designated person. See our sheriff versus private server comparison.
