Well you did not say what you are being sued for, but since you have posted this in the Auto section I am going to assume that it is related to an auto accident.
If so, and if you have insurance, you should be talking to your insurance agent or company now.
If you have no insurance and if you have any assets that you wish to protect or save (job, savings, etc..) then you need to be more assertive in getting a lawyer.
Options.. if you have no real funds contact your local Legal Aid Society and find out what your options are.
If you have the funds, then you can contact the local Bar Association and as for a referral to several lawyers who deal with this type of legal action. (not all lawyers practice all areas of the law).
Don't put this off.. you need to be proactive on it or it will eat you alive.
(sorry for those words of encouragement but better to start off with that concept then to realize it too late)
Good luck..

Look in the phone book for Legal Aid or free lawyer services. Contact some government agencies if you are on a low income and cannot afford a lawyer.
If you make too much money you will not be eligible for legal aid. I think it's around the poverty level. Depending on where you live. |

OK, My husband is a lawyer and you said you called and left several messages and he told you to come to his office.
Let me guess, you never showed up?
The reason, you did not show up, is that you needed to pay him a retainer for his services;;;;;;;and sign a contract.
When a lawyer files an answer to a complaint which you have, someone is suing you, they file (lawyer) that you have retained them to represent you in this lawsuit.
With no contract, how can they represent you?
The lawyer has never met you, has no info on the suit to file his defense.
The fact that you left numerous messages means nothing;;;;;;;;;;
How is he going to defend you, unless he meets with you in person?
The fact is , that if you have to be in court in 4 days, means, you had at least 20 or more days notice of this hearing, but you choose to wait and call many lawyers and hope they will just show up?
There is a saying my husband said, that the worst thing is a lawyer not knowing where the court is and looking like a fool, which makes his client in a bad spot.
A lawyer can get the facts, info and tell you what your rights are.
Also, most lawyers will give you (1) free consulatation on your rights and you can decide if you need a lawyer or not.
Wake up, if you are being sued, contact a lawyer and show up for an appointment so they can determine if your suit is valid or not. |

If this is an auto claim, send the summons and complaint to your insurance company. They will have their attorneys defend you. The costs involved are included under the terms of your policy.
If the other party is suing you for damage which exceed your policy limits, you may need to retain personal counsel. |
