It depends on the decision - generally, default orders are not technically appealable (but you can move to vacate), nor are decisions by hearing examiners (to which you can file objections for a judge to hear). Be advised that there are very strict time limits within which you must file an appeal, objection, motion or other application for review of any kind of decision or order. You should consult an attorney immediately to review your papers and advise you what, if any, recourse you may have. Feel free to call our office to discuss.
