What to do if you've been served
If you have been served
court papers or documents, whether it is a citation, summons, or subpoena, you
the defendant usually as 20 to 30 days to respond. The exact amount of days
your have to respond, court date, court info, case info., or anything else should
be on the front or second page of the citation, summons, or subpoena.
It is not a good idea to
ignore legal documents you have been served with. Not responding to a court
document can result in a default judgement being granted or can lead to legal consequences.
