and here in california, my anecdote entails me learning via first class mail that there's about to be a judgement entered against me because I failed to respond to papers I never received, because the plaintiff had apparently served them to an old address of mine (probably intentionally by this shady lawyer filing the small claims suit against me).
- cortesoft 10y agoOh, I know. I made another comment in this thread about all the ways you could miss being served, even if the server follows all the laws.
- wl 10y agoParties cannot be represented by attorneys in small claims court in California[1]. Unless the person suing you was the "shady lawyer" you're talking about, your anecdote doesn't make any sense.

- dthrowit 10y agoYes, the person suing me in small claims court was the shady lawyer himself.
