Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Kentucky

Re: civil summons of subpoena

A Subpoena requires you to physically appear in court. If you fail to do so, you are subject to arrest and incarceration.

A Summons requires you to file a written answer to a complaint and send it to the court and to the complaining party's lawyer, within 20 days. Failure to file an answer will result in the court entering a judgment against you for monetary damages.

You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
