Re: Response to claim

I would suggest that you retain counsel. You are at a decided disadvantage handling a case pro se against an attorney.

Re: Response to claim

Your Answer must deny the allegations...that needs to be done within 28 days from the date you officially recieved notice.

A counterclaim would be typed on the same pleading as the Answer, and that would request damages as if you were suing him....it is your claim against him...same time requirements.

My reply to you is incomplete in some ways and since you are not an attorney, you may get tripped up trying to fight one....very easy... so...you may call me directly if you wish:
