Now they are suing me for damages in another state. I can't represent myself because the amount is above $10,000 and I can't afford to pay a retainer for an attorney.
The client paid deposit, but never the final amount. I filed a counter suit for the outstanding amount.
I find myself caught between a rock and a hard stone. If I don't do anything I might have a judgement against me, but if I hire an attorney (which I can't afford) I might still have a judgement against me plus I paid close to what they are suing me for for the attorney.
I could try and settle, but I don't believe that's right. They owe me money due to their negligence as a company.
Theire "company" is still in good standing order, but they don't operate anymore.
What do I do? Thank you!
