Re: summons

It would be interesting to see if the process server claims he served you. Some counties have this information online. If he claims he did, a default judgment will be entered against you if no one shows up for court. Of course, if he claims he did, and he actually did not, he would be in a bit of hot water, to say the least. You need to discuss this with an attorney in your area.
