Help! I've Been Sued! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781965282069)

A process server just handed you a lawsuit. Your name or your business is at the top. The tiny print on the large packet of papers might as well be written in Pig Latin.

Your mind races. What does this mean? What can they take from you? Should you call the plaintiff? Delete your emails? Transfer your assets? File for bankruptcy?

Stop! Don't do any of that.

In her civil trial practice of over two decades and a thousand cases, Alicia I. Dearn has seen it all. Good people can make catastrophic mistakes in the first days after being served; mistakes that cost them their businesses, their futures, and their peace of mind. Mistakes that didn't have to happen.

Help! I've Been Sued! Ten Steps to Avoid Disaster gives you clear, practical guidance on exactly what to do right now-before you spend thousands on a lawyer, before you ask AI for advice, before you accidentally make anything worse. Written in plain English by an experienced trial lawyer with no AI hallucinations, no theory, and no fluff.

Lawsuits don't have to ruin your life. Don't panic-just start here.
