Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

The CPC primarily outlines two types of summons: Summons for Appearance: This is the most common type of summons, requiring the defendant to appear before the court on a specified date and time. Summons for Return of Summons: This type of summons is issued when the defendants address is unknown or uncertain.
When drafting an answer, one must: (1) follow the local, state, and federal court rules; (2) research the legal claims in the adversarys complaint; (3) respond to the adversarys factual allegations; and (4) assert affirmative defenses, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third-party claims, if applicable.
The Summons (FL-210) explains what you can do. You can respond by filing a Response (form FL-270) in court. If you dont file a Response within 30 days of getting these papers, the Petitioner can ask the court to decide the case without your input.
If you receive a court summons and complaint, first read the court papers completely, then prepare your answer. Answering the complaint means preparing a written response and filing it with the court within the time allowed under your states laws.
You do not need to write out a long explanation of what happened or that you want to settle, Simply address that statements in the complaint and either admit or deny them. Keep in mind, if you admit everything then there is no dispute and nothing for the Court to decide so a judgment will still be issued against you.

Summary: You dont need an attorney to respond to a Summons, but you have to respond with a written Answer or you run the risk of losing automatically. In your Answer, you should address all the claims against you and list your defenses, but dont give too much detail or you could hurt your case.
