Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Defualt Judgement and Damges

I want to allow someone to get a default judgement against my old corporation because I donot want to waste the money to defend something that is dead (Admin Dissolved).

How can I argue though to keep them from going in there and asking for like 2 Million dollar judgement? Should I invest in a attorney to do that?

Thanks

Why do you care if the judgment is for $1.00 or $5 million if the corporation is inactive and without assets? You either do not care if a default judgment is entered or you do. If you do not care, then forget about it and do not waste your money defending a claim that is not worth defending.
