How can you give someone court papers in California?

Today, I tried giving some important papers to someone, but they locked their car and avoided me when I said I needed to give them the documents. I put the papers on the front of their car, but they fell when the person drove away. What should I do next?

After such behavior, all you need to do is try calling to explain and offer to meet to hand them the document safely. If no answer, leave a detailed voicemail and follow up with a certified mail copy for proof.

Given that you attempted to send the documents and the receiver did not accept them, please record your attempt along with any pertinent information and timestamps. If at all feasible, send a text or email to the receiver informing them of the occurrence and offering to resend the papers by mail or email, which are safer methods.
