Re: disclosure statement

If you have been sued, the most prudent course of action is to hire an attorney immediately (and well in advance of any deadlines). It is too risky to not do so, even if you believe the case has no merit.

Re: disclosure statement

If your disclosure statement that you no backup was truthful, you should have no problem. However, due to the potential damages and, more importantly, because you apparently have already been sued, you should consult with a local attorney ASAP. Note: DO NOT LET THE 30 DAYS STATED IN THE SUMMONS GO BY WITHOUT FILING AN ANSWER TO THE LAWSUIT.
