Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in North Carolina

Re: court summons

Yes-you can simply not answer the door. This will not prevent you from being served, but no one can force you to accept service. The opposing party can simply send the summons to your last known address-file notice in the local paper 3 times and it is presumed that you have been served. The hearing will proceed without you. In other words, you can't purposeley hide from service of summons. I may have a cheaper solution to outright retaining an attorney at this point in time. If you are interested in obtaining access to legal advice for this and any other issues that may arise without the need to pay out big bucks first, please e-mail me and I will send some info out to you.

Either way, I wish you good luck.
