personal service

One-on-one assistance

Personal service is work performed directly for an individual rather than producing goods or serving institutions.

Lawyers, doctors, hairdressers, and housekeepers provide personal services.

In legal contexts, personal service means delivering documents directly to a person rather than by mail or substitution: The summons required personal service.
