What is the name of your state? - California

I received summon for civil latigation, trial. have to answer by
the 3/28. Have a hard time in finding an attorney and I cannot
afford the 100,000. I am thinking to answer myself first as time
is running out. Is it possible for me to represent in a trial lawsuit,
can I get help from the forum or any source, that's the worst case
if I have to do it. Can I hire somebody or myself to do the answering?
Thank you for your attention.

No court is going to require that you hire an attorney, you are free to represent yourself.

A paralegal will be able to help you prepare your answer or you can do it yourself as long as you have your answer properly formatted and falls within the law.

No, I don't believe any of us will help you in your representation in court, however, you can use the post your case function to the right of you to see if there is an attorney available.
