Subject: Summons served
Question: I have been served with a summons to appear in court to answers questions pertaining to my property, employment, and assets.  Do I have to disclose this information?  What might be the outcome of this disclosure?  Can I protect myself from  wage garnishment?  Can they remove items from my home?  Should I get a lawyer to help?  I would be grateful for the advice.
Answer: Do I have to disclose this information?
[Yes, or at least most of it. Some infomation can be denied but since this seems to be a case where judgment has already been granted to the plaintiff and it appears that  it is for an assets hearing then you must be very careful in answering their questions or providing documentation of any kind.]

What might be the outcome of this disclosure?

[Garnishment of wages if allowed under state law, seizure of some assets, bank accounts or other valuables not exempt under state law.]

Can I protect myself from  wage garnishment?

[That all depends on your special situation. I would have to know more about your special situation in order to answer that question.]

Can they remove items from my home?

[Yes, it is possible. State law will say what they can not garnish and anything else might be siezable]

Should I get a lawyer to help?

[Where are you going to find one that you can afford and who is competent enough to do you any good.
Those are rare birds indeed. Quite frankly I wouldn’t trust one of them as far as I could pick one up and throw ‘em and I got a bad back. If you want I’ll help you get through answering those questions without any charge or obligation. All you have to do is call me at 405-684-9297 or 405-227-9423. I will want to take you call and then call you back so as to keep my main lines open for other incoming calls. You can call most any time except tomorrow evening between 6:00 P.M. and 9:30 P.M. central time since I have a meeting I must attend. I can also be reached for consultation on Saturdays and Sundays.
