What You Should Know
About Court Action
1.) In (New Jersey) matters we request costs which
is
the average for processing district court cases from
"filing" through "judgment". Costs are
listed on your
"Authorization Form"
In New York or Pennsylvania,as
each jurisdiction
can vary, we request our attorney advise us before
we go forward.
2.) In the rare event of a contested case which goes to
trial, a witness may have to be provided.
3.) In the equally rare event of a counter-claim, additional
costs should also be anticipated
to defend this separate
matter.
4.) In matters of judgments which must go
on to execution,
supplementary proceedings, etc., additional cost must be
anticipated.
5.) In out of state matters, (other than NJ, NY, PA) court costs
are subject to the jurisdiction in which
filed and the area
practice as to suit fees. You will be advised later as to
these costs and can accept or decline
suit at that time.
6.) However, rest assured that most matters are resolved on
the terms shown on our "Authorization Form".
7.) The time table for
the above cannot be predicted. The
many steps such as (a) service of summons (b) time to
answer summons (c) demand
or levy by constable and
(d) supplementary proceedings, etc., are beyond our
control. As the attorney advises us
we will forward
the status to you.
