You should contact an attorney as soon as possible since you only have a limited time period to answer the complaint.

Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.

You would need a general contracts lawyer. Mr. Fichman is also correct, you must file an answer to the complaint within a short amount of time. Therefore, you must retain a lawyer as soon as possible.
