What if you've been sued, but the case if frivolous? You want to know how to just get
out of it, RIGHT NOW! Well, to be quite blunt, only a few can be disposed of quickly, even
when they are frivolous. Why is it that? Because of due process. The plaintiff is allowed an
opportunity to get evidence from you and others, and to bring their case to a judge or jury.
So even if you know that the plaintiff is lying or mistaken, the judge cannot just take
your word for it! That is not fair to the others involved in the lawsuit. What if you
are wrong? So once a lawsuit is filed, you are required to show up and participate through
trial, or else face a default judgment or contempt of court. Frequently, the whole process
takes a year or more and requires a lot of work. Have you been sued? Visit us at bellatrixlaw.com
