Defending New York Residents Against Creditor Litigation

Facing a debt lawsuit can be particularly challenging for New York residents. Credit card companies, debt buyers, and collection agencies file thousands of lawsuits every year in New York courts, often hoping that defendants won't respond or won't hire an attorney. Many of these lawsuits contain errors, expired statutes of limitations, or lack proper documentation—but without legal representation, you may never discover these defenses.

At Graham & Borgese, we understand the unique challenges faced by New Yorkers dealing with debt litigation. Our experienced team is familiar with New York's court system and consumer protection laws, and we're dedicated to building a strong defense tailored to your case.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if I've been served with a debt lawsuit?

If you've been served with a debt lawsuit, taking immediate action is critical. First, read the summons and complaint carefully to understand what you're being sued for and the deadline to respond (typically 20-30 days in New York). Do not ignore the lawsuit—this will result in a default judgment against you. 

Contact Graham & Borgese immediately for a free consultation. We can file an Answer on your behalf, challenge the creditor's claims, identify potential defenses, and negotiate a resolution. The sooner you act, the stronger your defense will be.

Can a debt lawsuit be dismissed or settled?

Yes. Many debt lawsuits can be dismissed, reduced, or settled on favorable terms. Common grounds for dismissal include expired statutes of limitations (typically 3-6 years in New York, depending on the debt type), lack of standing (the plaintiff cannot prove they own the debt), insufficient documentation, mistaken identity, or procedural errors. 

Even if dismissal isn't possible, we often negotiate significant reductions in the amount owed or payment plans that work within your budget. Our attorneys thoroughly review every case to determine the most effective defense strategy.
