I live in Florida, an attorney is suing me for legal fees in Texas, through the Texas Court. How can I keep this from occuring and if he does put a judgement against me, can he garnish my wages or seize my checking account? The account balance has been in dispute, however I do owe him. I simply can't pay him the full amount. I've made some monthly payments and have requested that they adjust the bill due to overbilling. I have a been served with a request for disclosure. For the sake of a child, I don't want to divulge some information that may put my child at risk. How should I respond to the discovery? Also, how does a judgment inpact my credit and getting employment?

He is suing YOU, that means you are the defendant. You can file a discovery against him, but don't have to supply him with any information without a subpeona. You will need to have an attorney represent you in the Texas court.

The judgement may impact your credit but not likely your employment.
