How to file a motion for dismissal
Consider hiring an attorney.
Before you respond to a lawsuit against you, seeking professional advice ensures you're interpreting the law and following procedure correctly. Although hiring an attorney can be expensive, you may lose a lot more if you try to file a motion by yourself and do it wrong.
If money is an issue, look for legal aid services in your area. Most state and local bar associations have networks that provide free or low-cost legal assistance.
