Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Wisconsin

Re: Default Judgement

You need to file a "Motion to Re-open" the matter, explaining why you didn't receive service of the original papers. Judges will usually re-open matters upon the filing of such a motion.

Either you, or a lawyer can assist with settling a case for less than the amount claimed.

I have made no further investigation into the merits of your case and express no opinion as to whether there are other aspects to your case that may render it a viable case to pursue. Any advice or opinions given in this reply is preliminary only and not based on a thorough analysis. Accordingly, you should not rely on my comments, but seek the advice of another lawyer if you want a full analysis of your case at the present time. Should you decide to seek the advice of another lawyer, I suggest you do so immediately.

Legal deadlines such as the statute of limitations may exist which, if not adhered to, could completely bar pursuit of your case
