Greetings:
I am a legal secretary/paralegal with 28 years experience in the State of California.
What kind of hearing is this? I can't tell you for certain what will happen in your case, until I have this information. However...........
At times, the papers can be sub-served...meaning the process server can leave the papers with a competent member - this is legal...thus, it's considered valid service.
Or, depending upon the hearing, if unsuccessful service, the hearing is postponed....or, service is made through publication(newspaper).....
I do need to know what kind of hearing this is in order to provide you with an appropriate response. Please let me hear back from you.
Thank you.
Bright Blessings.
Peace, Love & Happiness,
