Certificate of Service: A certificate of service acknowledging that copies of the cross claim and affirmative defenses have been served to all parties involved in the case. I kindly request that you review these documents, complete the necessary filing procedures, and provide me with a file-stamped copy for my records. Should any additional information or documents be required, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided email address or phone number.
