Re: summons in a civil action

You need to do just that--file an answer the complaint within 20 days of service. I would caution that federal court has many more pitfalls than state court, and it is not easy to navigate withut an attorney.

Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied.
