Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Had you defended the case back in 2008, you might very well have had a valid defense. Six years later, however, it will be very difficult for you to have the case reopened (unless you can show that you were never properly served in the original case). You might be able to do so if you can show a reasonable excuse why you didn't fight the case originally and only started to challenge the judgment now.
