You have a serious problem. Even if the person was not properly served this time around, it is not too hard to get that person served with the lawsuit.

If you are the person facing a lawsuit in New Jersey, I would strongly suggest speaking to a New Jersey attorney and getting some advice.

Give me a call if you would like to talk it over. The telephone discussion will be free of charge, and I will let you know what I believe I can do to assist you further. My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.
