Recovering Attorney Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 no one is scared by an answer with counterclaimsYou need to make a discovery demand separate from your answer. The sooner teh better. Tailor your questions to teh allegations of the complaint, and the items you think you need for the counterclaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debtorshusband Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The court clerk told me that both parties need to be present. Cap One is suing for 2200.00, I wonder if the firm will fly someone down for that amount?Here in California it is common for lawyers operating from a distance to hire a "rent-a-lawyer" to appear for them. "Rent-a-lawyers" are local attorneys who, for a modest fee, will "specially appear" when needed. It is common for them, during a single court session, to handle several cases, each time representing different collection agencies or law firms.DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueq Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 This sounds more like mediation than arbitration.Mediation is just a fancy term puting both of you in a room with someone to see if it can be worked out.Arbitration is a mandatory decision that robs you of due process and limits your ability to appeal.I agree, rock 'em on discovery, that is the key to victory.
