Q: I know i have a case in county court under $15k but i need to know if both me and my husband must attend?

Both names on estimate but he only signed. They have been dealing me and i paid.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: If you intend to introduce evidence and have testimony about the agreement/estimate, it is recommended that both people attend. It is not certain from your facts if your husband is required (a reasonable arguement can be made that he is not required), but it is always safer to prepare for contingencies (i.e. you are deemed unquailed to testify about a matter or cannot properly lay the foundation for admitting evidence).
