Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California

Re: was sued and judgement in favor of plaintiff

If you had absolutely no notice and you act quickly enough, you may be able to ask the judge to vacate the judgment. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

Re: was sued and judgement in favor of plaintiff

Your question is not very clear. If you were served with a complaint and failed to timely respond, a default judgment may have been entered. You may grounds to set aside the judgment based upon defective service or excusable neglect. The process for setting aside a default judgment is technical � I recommend that you go to the civil clerk�s office, make a copy of the entire file and take to the documents to an attorney for assistance. If you cannot afford legal counsel, check with your local county bar association or law library � they may be able to put you in touch with legal aid or direct you to self-help resourses.

For further assistance on this matter, please feel free to contact our office to arrange for a consultation.

Re: was sued and judgement in favor of plaintiff

You can try to Set Aside the judgment, if a timely motion is made on good cause. You only have at max 6 months from that judgment to file the necessary motion and supporting pleadings. Feel free to contact me if interested in getting legal help doing so.
