A: There are many factors involved in determining if you should defend a lawsuit or file bankruptcy. While some courts give you the option to "call or zoom" into the courtroom, that may not be your best option. You should connect with a Bankruptcy Attorney in Ohio to determine if Chapter 7 is a better solution than fighting the court case.
