Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Defendant in a civil suit

The court, stationary store, or several web sites have a form answer to a civil complaint; you would also wnat to file at the same time a cross-complaint against the parties you feel are responsible. You do need to raise the defenses you think apply. First call the Plaintiff's attorney and find out why they are suing you, but do not tell that attorney anything that might possibly hurt. You normally have 30 days after you were suffered with the complaint to answer it.

Sinc eyu ar being sued for such a large sum and you feel Plaintiff has a valid case, although against others, you probably do need to spend the money by going to an attorney to see what can and should be done. if you were the employee of a company that is being sued you may be entitled to have them pay for your attorney. Without knowing your level of sophiscation and the facts of the case, none of us can say whether you need an attorney for your deposition, but you likely do. Incidentally, guilt refers to criminal cases, legally responsible or liable to civil cases.

Have at least an initial meeting with an attorney. Attorney's who do civil defense will have cheaper rates probably, or attorney's who are semi-retired.
