Re: default judgements

I am not sure about the law in your state so I strongly recommend that you contact a lawyer immediately. If this is not done properly from the start you may loose. If you don't know where to find a lawyer contact your county or state bar association for a referral to an attorney who specializes in ADA cases. The law in California states that defendants only have six months to overturn a default that was entered do to mistake or inadvertence on the defendants behalf. After that six month time limit a defendant cannot overturn a default. However the time limit may be different in your state. Contact an attorney immediately. Good luck.

Sincerely,

John Hayes, Esq.
