Yes. Failing to respond can result in a default judgment. An Answer ensures your voice is heard and allows you to clarify what you agree or disagree with.

Will you represent me in court?

No. This is a document preparation service only. Attorney Canty does not file a formal Notice of Appearance. However, she will assist you in preparing and understanding what you need to proceed.

Can I include a counterclaim in my Answer?

Yes. If appropriate, we can include a Counterpetition or related claims. This will be discussed during your consultation.

How much will this cost?

All services are billed at $350/hour. You will receive a time estimate during your consultation, and no work will begin until you approve it.

Not necessarily. You can file a petition on your own. If both parties are cooperative, we may be able to prepare joint or uncontested forms.
