Set aside default

1 Answer from Attorneys

A properly supported, drafted and filed request to set aside a default order or judgment can be successful. This request must be accompanied by a properly drafted response (or similar pleading) that was previously required. An attorney will significantly increase your chances of success. An improper submission would not only be worthless, but could harmful in the future.

Limited-scope representation is when you and a lawyer agree that the lawyer will handle some parts of your case and you will handle others. This is different from more traditional arrangements between lawyers and clients where a lawyer is hired to provide legal services on all aspects of a case, from start to finish. Limited-scope representation is sometimes called “unbundled legal services” or “discrete task representation.”
