Do not ignore the summons and make sure you file a response or "Answer" to the Complaint today. You should contact an attorney if you do not know how to file a response. After the response has been filed then you can discuss with the opposing attorney a possible settlement including how to work out a payment plan. If you do not file a response a judgment with the amount of the debt due and owing, plus interest and court costs may be taken against you.

Possibly. The mere fact that the name of the company has changed may not insulate you from paying for services rendered.

You should contact an attorney. It is not automatic that the domestic violence charge and the temporary protection order will be dropped just because you both now want to be together. An attorney will not be able to tell you how the court will decide your case. These are serious charges and ones that you should not take lightly. Contact an attorney as soon as possible and prior to your court date.

Generally it is true that after you pay a retainer fee the attorney will charge you on an hourly basis. However, from your statement it sounds as if you may have hired the attorney for several different matters (even though they seem related) which is why he or she has asked for additional retainer fees. You should talk to your attorney about the attorney client agreement and ask to review it with him or her so you have a clear understanding as to what the scope of the representation is under...

Contact an attorney to discuss filing a motion to vacate the judgment on your behalf under Ohio Civil Rule 60(b).

As you are finding the credit card company has several ways that it can seek to "execute" or collect on the judgment. If the judgment is not able to be vacated so...
Possibly. You should contact an attorney to review the lease agreement with you to determine your obligations as well as the obligations of your landlord.
