SERVED PAPERS BY A PROCESS SERVER AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT?
​
First, read the documents carefully to determine what the case is about. Take it slow and ask for help if there is anything you do not understand or if you are not sure what actions you should take. The best help is likely available through contacting an attorney. You may also be able to find clarification on certain matters by visiting one of the following links:

​
In any instance, you will need to respond within a limited number of days. The papers you were served cannot be ignored. So, work to determine what the deadline and response requirements are and how you should go about making a formal response.
​
Finally, understand that, while being served with papers can be surprising or unpleasant, it is part of an important process that is designed to protect all of us, including you. It helps to preserve your right to due process and to know what is going on in your case. Knowing what is going on is the first step in bringing proper resolution to the situation.
