Robin's Ruminations

I've written previously about the terrible situation in New York where process servers working for American Legal Process falsified thousands upon thousands proofs of service.  This practice has become known as "sewer service" because of the practice of dumping the actual service documents in the sewer instead of serving them.

Jeff Karotkin has done a fantastic job of following up on the situation and has recently posted new information on his blog at http://serviceofprocesslookingforward.blogspot.com/.  I urge everyone to read his material carefully and take it to heart.  

There are people in our industry who care about one thing and one thing only - the all mighty dollar.  And they'll do anything to get it.  They'll forge signatures, they'll rewrite and change proofs, they'll  .....  My gawd, it makes me shudder to even think about what is going on in our industry.

And don't think that just because we're way out here in Washington we're somehow immune.  I assure you, we're not.  Absolutely we're not.  It is happening here.  Be careful with whom you're dealing.  If a client asks you to do things that make you uncomfortable then trust your gut - stop dealing with them.
