One of the top news stories this week in the process service industry is the case of the Texas judge who pulled a gun on a process server and later had him arrested on false charges.
For the number of individuals who are served on a yearly basis, those encounters with attorneys and judges which escalate to such extreme situations are rare but not unheard of. Take a look at these cases over the past few years which have involved instances of accused or confirmed charges of assault by judges or attorneys:
