Re: Answer to a civil summons

In general, you have 30 days to file an answer to the complaint, which is a legal response to the allegations. If you do not file within 30 days, the plaintiff may move for a default judgment and win an award for all the damages (s)he is asking for. However, it is more complicated than that, so I would have to know more about the facts regarding the complaint.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.
