Hello,
I received a non payment petition on Monday 22nd, on Tuesday I hired a lawyer to answer the petition, but I called the lawyer today to check if he has filed the answer and I was told that he is still working on it, I expressed my concern that the petition says we must answer within 5 Days but he assured me that he knows what he is doing and in reality we have up to 10 days to answer, he added that the answer will be made today or tomorrow. I am still worried and need to get another opinion, can the LL's lawyer ask for a default judgement once 5 days has passed?
should I go to the court tomorrow and file the answer myself if my lawyer dons't do it today? I could have filled the answer myself but though it would be better to hire a lawyer. Thank you
