Get Started on Your Defense
After you have been served with notice of a collection suit, it is important to get to work as soon as you possibly can. The amount of time you have to respond to the lawsuit will depend on state laws, however, the summons that comes with the complaint will also inform you about the deadline. If you fail to respond to the summons, a judgment can be entered against you by the judge. This is why it is crucial to consult with a lawyer as soon as you receive notice of the lawsuit. The quicker you speak to an attorney, the quicker you can get started building a strong legal defense.
How Do I Find the Right Attorney?
To following things listed below can help you find the right attorney for your case:
- Attorney Referrals: When one attorney recommends another attorney to help with your case, it is usually a good sign that they are qualified to represent you.
- Family Referrals: Ask immediate family and relatives about attorneys they work with when they are facing a legal dispute.
- Local or State Bar Associations: Many local and state bar associations will have lists available that will show you lawyers who practice in in your area.
- Legal Aid Groups: Those who qualify for low income benefits or receive public assistance or Social Security, might be eligible to receive legal representation through legal aid organizations or nonprofit law centers.
Meeting With Your Attorney
When you meet with our attorneys, we will ask you the following questions:
- How old is your debt?
- What transactions created your debt?
- How have the creditors you’ve encountered so far behaved?
- Do you have any additional facts that might reduce what you owe?
At your meeting, you should ask your attorney the following questions:
- How many collection lawsuits has the attorney handled?
- How long does it usually take to settle these types of cases?
- How will the lawyer keep you informed about new developments in your case?
After you decide on the attorney you want to represent you, make sure you sign a retainer agreement. Your retainer agreement is a contract that will govern your employment relationship with your attorney. The retainer agreement should also explain the fee arrangement that has been negotiated.
