IMPORTANT
A lawsuit has been filed against you. You have 20 calendar days after this summons is
served on you to file a written response to the attached complaint/petition with the clerk of this
circuit court. A phone call will not protect you. Your written response, including the case num-
ber given above and the names of the parties, must be filed if you want the court to hear your side
of the case. If you do not file your written response on time, you may lose the case, and your
wages, money, and property may thereafter be taken without further warning from the court.

know an attorney, you may call an attorney referral service or a legal aid office (listed in the phone
book).
If you choose to file a written response yourself, at the same time you file your written
response to the court you must also mail or take a copy of your written response to the person
named below.
