This page provides the fastest ways to contact our office by phone, text, email, or online form. You can also find brief information below about what being sued may mean and what to expect next.

What does it mean that I have been sued?

It means a legal claim has been filed against you. Being sued is the beginning of a legal process and should be taken seriously.

What if I have not been formally served yet?

Some people learn about a lawsuit before formal service takes place. Even if you have not yet been formally served, this is still an appropriate time to get information and understand what may happen next.

Does being sued mean the other side has already won?

No. A lawsuit is not a final result. You may still have defenses, response options, counterclaims, or opportunities to resolve the matter.

What should I do right now?

Keep any documents related to the matter, make note of important dates, and speak with an attorney promptly. Early attention can help you better understand your situation and avoid unnecessary mistakes.

What happens next?

That depends on the type of case, the court, and the current stage of the matter. Next steps may involve formal service, deadlines, negotiations, or other legal proceedings.
