10-day deadline to reply the entire trial
The Verbal Trial does not pardon a lack of response and the deadline is extremely short. You must act with surgical precision:
The countdown: You only have 10 working days. It is your only opportunity to present your version of events and your evidence. If this time runs out, you will lose your right to defend yourself.
Urgent Unlike other processes, there is hardly any time to gather documentation here. You need a lawyer who can react within 24-48 hours.
The test is key: In a verbal trial, everything is decided in the written defence and in the subsequent oral hearing. The preparation of witnesses and documents must be perfect from the first written submission.
Specific risks: If it's an eviction, the fear of losing your home is real. If it's a monetary claim, you risk an unfair execution.
The biggest risk is defiance. Not replying within those 10 days is an automatic legal defeat.
Defend yourself with strategy and win the oral hearing
Being sued does not mean being convicted. Our goal is to prepare a strong defence in record time that dismantles the claim and to represent you competently in the oral proceedings.
we help you defend yourself from the lawsuit, alleging all substantive grounds (your rights, your payments) and formal grounds (procedural defects) so that the Verbal Trial concludes with a judgment in your favour.
| Consequence | Attempting to answer without a lawyer (Procedural risk) | Reply with Strategic Lawyer |
|---|---|---|
| 10-day deadline | Very high risk of missing the deadline or submitting a flawed document due to rushing. | Secured deadline. Absolute priority for your file to respond in time. |
| Defence | You can forget to allege a defect or not request the necessary evidence in the initial filing. | We plead procedural exceptions (formal errors) and propose all necessary evidence. |
| The Oral Hearing | You face the judge and opposing counsel with no experience in the hearing. | Total representation. Your solicitor litigates for you, questions witnesses and defends your version. |
| Result | High probability of conviction due to technical defence or default. | Real possibility of winning the case or achieving a reduced sentence. |
Receiving a lawsuit is stressful, but the law gives you the opportunity to defend yourself. The key is to respond strategically within the legal timeframe.
