You really should retain counsel. You need to adequately respond to the allegations of the complaint and filed any defenses and counterclaims that you may have. You have 20 days to do so, and you should send an original to the court and a copy to the other attorney. If you don't know what you are doing, I strongly encourage you to retain counsel to represent you. Feel free to contact our office.
