Civil & Commercial Litigation: Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions. General information only, not legal advice.

What happens if I ignore a lawsuit?

If you do not file a timely response, the plaintiff can request a default and then a default judgment, often for the full amount demanded. That judgment can lead to wage garnishment, bank levies and liens. Setting aside a default is possible in limited circumstances but is much harder than responding on time.

Can my business represent itself in court?

In California superior court, a corporation or LLC generally must appear through a licensed attorney. It cannot be represented by an owner or officer who is not a lawyer. Small claims court is the main exception.

What is discovery in a civil case?

Discovery is the pretrial process where each side gathers evidence from the other, through written questions (interrogatories), document requests, requests for admission and depositions taken under oath. It is often the longest and most expensive phase of a lawsuit.

Should I send a demand letter before filing a lawsuit?

In most business disputes, yes. A clear demand letter from an attorney shows you are serious, documents your claim and deadline, and resolves many disputes without litigation. Some claims legally require pre-suit notice, so the letter can also protect your rights.
