3 Answers from Attorneys
There are not enough facts to give you an good opinion as to your case. For example, if you were sued and defaulted, a judge would enter a judgement without ever contacting you or discussing the case with you. Want to know the law?

The judge doesn't contact you, the plaintiff does.
The person who is suing you (the Plaintiff) had to serve you with a summons and complaint. If you do not answer the complaint within the specified time (20 days), a default judgment will be entered against you. Contact an attorney or the clerk's office for more information. Regards,
