Finally! A website dedicated to providing consumers with accurate and free court summons response information.
July 18, 2008 -- Right Triangle Mediation and American Mediation of Los Angeles County has launched a new public service website, www.SummonsHelp.com. In an effort to help consumers properly answer their court summonses and minimize the number of default judgment granted in plaintiff's favor, SummonsHelp.com, provides free information for in pro-per (not represented by an attorney) defendants on how to properly file an answer to their lawsuits. The site is equipped with a talking avatar and guides you through all the questions. After filling out a short form, the respondents will receive a call from a live person who will advice them of the best solution to their case. Whether it is hiring an attorney or settling the case, American Mediation staff will guide the consumers though the whole process. They will even supply the forms necessary to file an answer with the court, including the fee waiver form.
"We are not attorneys and we do not give legal advice, but every civil case has the opportunity to be settled before it gets in front of the judge," said Alex Dukhovny, President and CEO of Right Triangle Mediation and SummonsHelp.com. "In most cases the public only has 30 days from the receipt of the summons to file a response; however, there is very little information out there on how to properly accomplish that. This website will not only give the proper 'how to' information [to the consumers regarding the summons answer issues, but also educate the general public about the affordable and guaranteed Alternative Dispute Resolution available to everyone."
Alex Dukhovny has long been a believer in Alternative Dispute Resolution and between running successful mediation companies and providing international relation advice to a newly found non-profit organization Another Joy Foundation, he is always thinking of revolutionary ways to assist people from all walks of life with their dispute resolution needs.
SummonsHelp.com is free and will remain free for as long as the public needs it. This is just another way in which companies like Right Triangle Mediation and American Mediation give back to the community. If you got a court summons and do not know what to do next, this is your answer.
RTM was established not only to provide affordable mediation services, but also to educate the public, and to introduce the advantages and benefits of this alternative dispute resolution. In 2007 RTM merged with American Mediation and history in virtual alternative dispute resolution was made.
