What kind of lawyer do I need?

I’m being sued for defaulting on a auto loan. I want to fight it, but I don’t know where to start.

Try a consumer protection lawyer.

you need a litigation lawyer - someone who’s used to court work. if it’s in small claims court(depending on where you are located) you may be able to find some good paralegals who are cheaper to retain.

as for finding a lawyer - recommendations are only good if the person who is making the recommendation has actually seen the lawyer in action. anyone can talk big, but you want someone who will produce results.

thanks everyone.
another part of the problem is that I’m being sued from a different state. do i need to find a lawyer in that state, or my current one?
also, are there any key things i should look for when trying to find a litigation/consumer protection/paralegal???
