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.
