What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
I had a few questions, along with the title. I lived in Eugene, Oregon for about 2 years and had moved back to Houston, Texas for about a year now. I had just recently got a slip about me getting sued for unpaid expenses, boarding, and room. This is all being done through a small claims court. I'm being sued through Lane County Courts. I made no consent over any kind of rent, through living with this family. Can a lawyer represent me, since I'm unable to go to Oregon? If so, what forms would have to file? Can they actually collect rent even though a year has passed?
