Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Re: summons never recieved

If you mean you were never served as a defendant with the summons, then you have to file a motion to set aside default against you.

If you mean you never served a summons on a defendant you sued, then you'd better serve it and file proof before your case is dismissed.

If the case is worth hiring an attorney to represent you, not a small claims case, feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
