Legal Answer
Look at the summons it should say on it.. Typically when you are served you have 30 days to respond if it is not an eviction case, nor a small claims action. Eviction cases move much faster. If you don't know what date you were served because it was a substituted service call the lawyer on the complaint and ask for a copy of the proof of service. If they refuse you may be able to get a copy at the court because they will have to file it. By the way if they refuse write them a letter to that effect and save a copy in case you might have to contest the date of service later on.
Hope this helps ,and good luck to you.
