What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I've got a collection attorney on my company for nearly six months now. The case is bogus and I plan to fight them ... however it's from out of state and consequently will cost me more time and money than I have. I have not been served the papers for this suit as of yet. However, to my knowledge they have been attempting to serve me as the registered agent of the company. So, a few things have developed and I was thinking about opening email/phone communication to either settle for a low amount or get them to dismiss the suit. However, I don't want a letter or phonecall from me to somehow give them the "easy serve" and turn on the clock for me to defend myself against the entire suit.
