What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
CA
I got sued by an attorney, however, the only notices that I get are in the mail, non-certified to a business address that I am no longer the tenant in. And I didn't find out about the notices till after the court date has passed.
Does the plaintiff automatically win because I didn't show up for court? Shouldn't I be personally served or at least receive a certified letter?
I'd rather not dig in further with the court because that will only prove that I know about the lawsuit.
Any advice?
