Service Bailiffs

Service Bailiffs assist litigants and attorneys by the efficient handling and delivery of court documents and the timely enforcement of judgment remedies.

Service Bailiffs serve summonses for complaints and subpoenas for civil, criminal, and traffic cases as well as enforce writs of restitution, replevin orders, executions, orders of attachment, and garnishments. Service Bailiffs recover property from defendants and collect monetary awards. Personal property recovered is sold at bailiff's sales, subject to prior liens. Order of attachment property is seized and held by the bailiff or the plaintiff pending further order of the court. Bailiffs further enforce judgments by serving garnishment of wages and attachment of bank accounts. In replevin actions, property is seized and returned to the rightful owner.
