Q: Is there any way I can respond to a lawsuit against my LLC?
A vexatious litigator had sued my former LLC and obtained a default judgement against me but the court rejected his request to pierce the corporate veil. In the suit, he named multiple other unrelated business that have no association with the LLC named in the suit but the plaintiff, aware I can’t respond, is willfully submitting fake or fabricated evidence trying to scam the court, by filing an emergency motion after the judgement. I am very, very poor and this party is seeking injunctions against my free speech.
Is there any way I can submit some form of motion to explain to the court exactly what is going on?

A:
You can respond to the lawsuit against your LLC by submitting a motion to the court. Even if you're unable to afford legal representation, you can file a pro se motion, which means you are representing yourself. In this motion, you should clearly state your case, explain the false evidence and misrepresentations being made by the plaintiff, and emphasize that your former LLC is unrelated to the other businesses mentioned.
Include any evidence you have to refute the plaintiff's claims and to demonstrate the improper conduct they are engaging in. Ensure your motion is clear, concise, and provides the court with all necessary details to understand the situation. If there are any procedural issues or deadlines, be sure to address them promptly to avoid further complications.
It’s important to keep your motion factual and focused on the specific issues at hand. Highlight the injustice of the false evidence and the plaintiff's attempt to misuse the legal system against you. By taking these steps, you can inform the court of the true circumstances and seek to protect your rights effectively.
