Respond to Your California Debt Lawsuit Without Hiring a Lawyer
Generate your California Answer package... and more using an attorney-created self-help automation tool. Learn the process while creating the documents you need.
In most California cases, you generally have 30 days from service to file a response. If you do nothing, the plaintiff may seek a default judgment — which can lead to wage garnishment, bank levies, or liens.
The clock is ticking. Act now.

Is Bankruptcy the Better Move?
For some people, the debt is too large, too old, or there are too many creditors for a lawsuit defense to make sense. If you're not sure whether to fight the lawsuit or explore bankruptcy, speaking with an attorney may help you decide. Lawyers for the Little Guys offers consultations for people in exactly this situation.
