Can anyone assist in filing to Vacate Judgement in Berks County, PA

Relief from a judgment may be sought by filing a Petition to Open or Strike the Judgment.  A judgment may be opened when there exists a genuine factual dispute.  However, the same must be filed promptly, preferably within 10 days of the judgment and beyond that a reasonable excuse must be provided for the delay in not filing sooner. A judgment may be stricken when there is a defect in service.  However, in my experience, service is usually proper as the Prothonotary, where cases are filed, will refuse to allow a judgment in which service has not been made.  My first step is to check the docket and determine if the record reflects good or bad service. I trust this answers your questions and do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis.    Matthew R.
