Sending Certificate of Service? I found this certificate of service in a Court law book. Here is the exact wording of it. "I certify?
that I have this day served _____________ (opposing party or attorney) with a copy of this Notice of Intent by _____________ sending a copy. first class postage paid through the US mail or by email the the agreement of the (opposing party or attorney) to him / her at ____________ (complete address of party served).
This the _____(day) of ______ (month) , _______ (year).
Sign your name. ______________
Address ____________________
Telephone ___________________
Email ______________________ "
MY QUESTION IS: I READ THIS AS THAT I HAVE TO JUST SEND IT VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL. BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME, THAT IT HAS TO BE SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL. BUT I DON"T SEE WHAT IT STATES OR IMPLIES THAT. HELP. I NEED ADVICE.
P.S. I was not shouting... I was just trying to separate it clearly from the above form. Thanks.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: COURT IS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

FORGET the generic language in a law book. Contact the ACTUAL COURT where the lawsuit has been or will be filed. They are the ONLY source that is certain to know what they will except.
Note: Using 1st class mail, you have ZERO evidence it was received. If it is not personally delivered, you need a tracking number.

Mailing it to whom? You are going to need to know a lot more than just how to mail it. In most places, you don't mail it at all. Hire a lawyer. Without knowing the laws AND the process where you live, you are asking for your case to be dismissed.

I own a process service business. WHERE? This isn't Federal law. In MY State certified mail is NOT required. I don't know where you are.
