Lawyer Blows Up at Process Server : ServeNow.com: "Lawyer Sanctioned After Blowing Up at Process Server

When a lawyer is served with a malpractice suit, throwing the complaint on the floor, ejecting the process server for trespassing and yelling 'call 911' are possible responses.

But they're wrong, a Mercer County, N.J., judge says in a $403 sanction order against Robert Conroy, one of the state's leading health care lawyers.

Conroy was in his Bridgewater office on March 20, when Guaranteed Subpoena Service Inc. sent a representative to serve a malpractice suit by a doctor Conroy had represented in a complicated transaction.

But Guaranteed reported back to the plaintiff's lawyer: 'Not served! Entity was evading service. Threw service at server, stating he was trespassing and would be arrested if he didn't leave.'

Conroy says that's not what happened. He says the firm accepted service at the reception desk but the server barged his way into private areas of the office, like a dangerous intruder. "
