Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

you're going to need a Florida lawyer to check with the courts to see if a proof of service has ben filed. You should also get a copy of whatever was served.

Do you know in what court or county the lawsuit was filed? I don't know how you check online for FL lawsuits. If you know the county it's likely you can access the court docket & see what has been filed (but see below about proof of service issue). I suggest you post your question on the FL jurisdiction. Hopefully you'll get a response from a FL lawyer. If it was in PA as far as I know there's no way to do a statewide internet search on civil lawsuits filed against you. You'd have to check each county court web site. I don't know if FL enables you to do a statewide search of its court system (assuming the lawsuit is in state court & not Federal Ct). Also, in many instances the lawyer who filed the lawsuit doesn't file the proof of service until the default judgment is filed so you may not see the proof of service until it's too late. The other response you received is good advice. Your best course is probably to consult with an experienced FL litigation lawyer.
