Re: Lawsuit
Being sued is a serious matter. If you respond ytourself there is a high likliehood that you wil lose, oftimes with disasterous consequences. Step one is you see a lawyer right away. Unless the amount is very small and the case very simple, you'll usually then want to retain counsel to represent you in the case.
Re: Lawsuit
There is no way to tell you how to file an answer. Plus, you may need to file a motion along with the answer or else risk waiving your right to do so. You should have a local attorney review the complaint and assist with your response.
