Re: response to summons

You are now the defendant in a lawsuit. You must file a proper Answer or other motion, depending on the facts. After that, you are going to have to cooperate in Discovery and ultimately prepare for Trial if the case does not settle or get disposed of in some other manner. It sounds like you are going to need an attorney to represent and defend you, as there are numerous proceedures you have to know and follow to avoid problems such as default or sanctions. Contact me if interested in discussing the facts and costs of defense.

Re: response to summons

The first natural response is to scream. The second, and more mature response, is to file an answer, demurrer, motion to strike. It all depends on how you received the papers, what they contain (i.e. are they sufficient to state a claim against you), whether the lawsuit was filed on time, etc. If it involves an auto accident, you might tender the lawsuit to your insurance company. Please feel free to call if you need help in preparing your response, or if you need legal representation. (310) 858-9771
