I’ve been serving in Michigan for a few months now for a local collection agency. I currently have two summonses for the same defendant being sued by two different clients. The Schedule of Fees for process service in the Michigan Legislature (MCL 600.2559) allows a fee + mileage per defendant. The collection agency who hired me is happy to pay mileage twice, being that I’m serving two summonses for two separate clients. Regardless, is that the typical and/or ethical practice among process servers, being that I’m only making one trip?
Input appreciated!
