Written Response Help

A summons or a complaint against you can require a legal written response. A legal written response must be written in a prescribed way in terms of its content, form and language. A response is also called a complaint or a petition and must usually be submitted within 30 days of the time it was requested.

The response is the answer to a complaint or summons filed against you. If you fail to reply, this could result in a default judgment against you. If you submit an incorrect or incomplete written response to the summons, the judgment may go against you.

The response is the way a defendant tells his or her side of the story. Properly writing a legal written response is an important first step the accused takes in defending him- or herself. Getting the content, form and language right are essential for the success of the defendant.
