Named as a Defendant in a Lawsuit; Never Served

Fayetteville, GA Viewed 25 times. Posted 24 days ago in Lawsuits / Disputes

I recently found out that I had been named in a lawsuit in New York back in 2006 and it says I was never served because "unable to find". I did move from NY until 2007. What can I do at this point?

More information is needed about the matter. Did the court permit alternative service? Is the suit still going on? Was a judgment entered against you on default after alternative service? In certain instances, you may not have to do anything. What were you sued for in New York?

If you can provide additional information, you can either post it or contact me directly. I'm licensed in Georgia and New York.
