What Happens If Someone Sues & You Have No Money? This is a common question we get at SoloSuit, so we asked a debt lawyer, Sarah Wolk. Here's what she taught us:

If you get sued and have no money or assets, consider these options:

👉 Self-Representation: Hiring an attorney might not be feasible due to costs, so you may need to represent yourself.
👉 Fee Waivers: Most courts offer fee waivers for people who can't afford filing fees for court documents, which can alleviate some financial burden.
👉 Legal Aid and Resources: Utilize legal aid services or online resources for guidance. SoloSuit is mentioned as a valuable tool for self-representation.
👉 Bankruptcy Consideration: If handling the case seems overwhelming, bankruptcy might be an option, as it can discharge certain debts.
👉 Dealing with Default Judgment: If the case leads to a default judgment because you couldn’t effectively represent yourself, understand that there are exemptions in collections. Creditors can attempt to garnish wages or levy bank accounts, but they can’t take everything. Certain amounts are protected to ensure you can meet basic living needs.
