New Jersey  |  Civil Litigation

I had someone file a frivolous lawsuit against my custom auto business. I had done some work on his car and he took it back for someone else to do some additional work. Over a year later he asked for me to do some more work on it. I told him I would, but he would have to wait until I finished the cars I was working on. He continually pressured me to take to car in and started to threaten me with a lawsuit! When that happened I told him I would not work on it any more under those conditions. He filed a lawsuit against me. I hired an attorney and took all the paperwork to him. I never heard anything else until I received a notice that a judgment of $27,000 had been entered against me as I failed to appear it court! My attorney dropped the ball. He doesn't return my phone calls. Now I received an "information subpoena" by regular mail requesting financial information. I can't afford this. What can I do? Please help, this is so unfair.
