Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Name], I am writing to request the issuance of a summons by publication in the [Case Name] case. Despite diligent efforts, the defendant, [Defendant's Name], cannot be located, and all attempts to serve them with a traditional summons have been unsuccessful. Cook County, Illinois, provides the option to request a summons by publication when the defendant's whereabouts are unknown. This procedure allows us to provide notice of the pending legal action through newspaper publications, ensuring that the defendant is made aware of the lawsuit and has an opportunity to respond. To initiate this process, I request that the court issue a summons by publication in [name of newspaper(s)] for a period of [number of consecutive weeks] once a week. This will help reach a wide audience and increase the chances of the defendant coming across the legal notice. The contents of the summons should include information relevant to the lawsuit, such as the case name, case number, plaintiff's name, defendant's name, and a brief description of the claims made against the defendant. It should clearly indicate that the defendant must respond within a specified time frame, typically within 30 days of the last publication. In addition to the summons, please enclose a copy of the complaint filed in this case, which includes the details of the allegations against the defendant. Including this information will provide the defendant with a comprehensive understanding of the claims made against them. Once the summons by publication is issued, I kindly request that the court provide me with a certificate of publication as proof that the legal notice has been appropriately published in the designated newspapers. This certificate will be crucial in further legal proceedings, should the defendant fail to respond within the given time frame. Thank you for considering this request. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a successful resolution of this case.

Additionally, the number of newspapers and the duration of publication may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
