Arizona Lawsuit Process Overview

Summary

In Arizona, once a summons and complaint are served, the defendant has 20 days to respond if they are in-state, or 30 days if out-of-state. If no response is filed, the plaintiff can seek a default judgment. After a default judgment, the court may grant the relief requested, such as monetary damages or property possession. The plaintiff can enforce the judgment through methods like wage garnishment or property liens. In cases involving a hostile work environment, its important to gather evidence, report internally, and consult legal counsel. If the lawsuit is against a business, enforcement methods include bank levies and property liens.
