So, so far your partner knows the name of the complainant, the fact that the complainant is a paving sub-contractor, the county in which the complaint was filed, the nature of the action (garnishment). Anything else? He knows all of this without actually having received the paperwork – it was all delivered orally by the alleged server. And he knows “the paperwork had his co. name on it” without having seen the paperwork.
I don’t suppose you were there to witness this happen, were you?
