Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Arizona

Adversary Proceeding Summons

I have been served with an adversary proceedings summons and am required to motion or answer. Can I send a reply to the court, on my own with out an attorney if I answer line by line the allegations against me? Is it wise to do this with out an attorney, even if I know that I can answer each question-with back up documentation (exhibits) to prove my side? Or is the legal language likely to cause me to inadvertently admit fault?

You can if you want. I suggest you get an attorney. In addition to admitting or denying each allegation, you must also state your "affirmative defenses." If you fail to list an affirmative defense, it may be waived.
