SUMMONS
From The State of New Jersey To The Defendant(s) Named Above:
The plaintiff, named above, has filed a lawsuit against you in the Superior Court of New Jersey. The
complaint attached to this summons states the basis for this lawsuit. If you dispute this complaint, you or your
attorney must file a written answer or motion and proof of service with the deputy clerk of the Superior Court in
the county listed above within 35 days from the date you received this summons, not counting the date you
received it. (The address of each deputy clerk of the Superior Court is provided.) If the complaint is one in
foreclosure, then you must file your written answer or motion and proof of service with the Clerk of the Superior
Court, Hughes Justice Complex, P.O. Box 971, Trenton, NJ 08625-0971. A filing fee payable to the Treasurer,
State of New Jersey and a completed Case Information Statement (available from the deputy clerk of the
Superior Court) must accompany your answer or motion when it is filed. You must also send a copy of your
answer or motion to plaintiff's attorney whose name and address appear above, or to plaintiff, if no attorney is
named above. A telephone call will not protect your rights; you must file and serve a written answer or motion
(with fee of $135 and completed Case Information Statement) if you want the court to hear your defense.
If you do not file and serve a written answer or motion within 35 days, the court may enter a judgment
against you for the relief plaintiff demands, plus interest and costs of suit. If judgment is entered against you, the
Sheriff may seize your money, wages or property to pay all or part of the judgment.
If you cannot afford an attorney, you may call the Legal Services office in the county where you live. A
list of these offices is provided. If you do not have an attorney and are not eligible for free legal assistance, you
may obtain a referral to an attorney by calling one of the Lawyer Referral Services. A list of these numbers is
also provided.
