THE ACTUAL MENU
Eight common reasons somebody suddenly stops answering the door.
01 / COURT & CIVIL
Classic paperwork. Timeless awkwardness.
01
SUMMONS & COMPLAINTS
The paperwork equivalent of "we need to talk."
Summonses and complaints are common civil documents used to notify someone that a legal matter exists and that action may be required.
02
SUBPOENAS
An invitation with absolutely no open bar.
Subpoenas may require a person to appear, provide documents, or otherwise respond according to the issuing matter and applicable rules.
GOOD TO HAVE
Recipient details, location information, deadline, and any assignment-specific instructions.

02 / NOTICES & PROPERTY
When the strongly worded email graduates.
03
NOTICES & DEMANDS
Paperwork with consequences.
Notices and demands cover a wide range of formal communications. What matters is knowing what needs to be delivered, where it needs to go, and when.
GOOD TO HAVE
The documents, recipient information, delivery address, deadline, and any required handling notes.

04
EVICTION / LANDLORD-TENANT
The paperwork already brought enough tension.
Landlord-tenant matters can involve notices, court documents, and other time-sensitive paperwork. Requirements vary heavily by jurisdiction and document type.
GOOD TO HAVE
Full address, unit information, recipient details, deadlines, and clear document instructions.

03 / PEOPLE & DISPUTES
Real people. Real situations. Less nonsense.
05
SMALL CLAIMS & CIVIL PAPERS
Broken promises eventually discover numbered exhibits.
Small claims and civil matters can involve disputes over money, property, agreements, damages, and other issues that have officially moved beyond "can we just work this out?"
GOOD TO HAVE
Recipient information, documents, service location, court date or deadline when applicable.

FAMILY COURT DOCUMENTS
Professional service. The jokes stay on our side of the door.
Family-related matters can be sensitive. The assignment details, applicable requirements, and documentation should be handled carefully and professionally.
GOOD TO HAVE
Accurate recipient details, current address information, deadlines, and any relevant assignment instructions.
Start this assignment →
04 / BUSINESS & PANIC
For corporations and calendars with commitment issues.
07
CORPORATE / REGISTERED AGENT SERVICE
Find the person whose job includes "unfortunately, yes."
Business service may involve corporations, registered agents, offices, or other authorized recipients depending on the assignment and jurisdiction.
GOOD TO HAVE
Exact business name, service address, recipient or agent information, and the documents.

08
RUSH & DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENTS
Deadline doing cardio?
Rush or difficult assignments depend on timing, location, workload, available information, and the requirements of the specific job. Tell us what you have and what the clock is doing.
GOOD TO HAVE
The actual deadline. Preferably before the deadline begins waving from the rearview mirror.
Ask about availability →
NOT SURE WHAT THIS THING IS?
Send the useful information.
We can start there.
Document names vary. Local terminology varies. Somebody somewhere will abbreviate something that absolutely did not need abbreviating. Tell us what you have and where it needs to go.

THE BORING BUT IMPORTANT PART
