I have filed Answer and Affirmative defenses and Opposition to summary judgement for a Business credit card debt. AMEX now sent Motion to strike as it says the company cannot represent itself in court of law without attorney. What is your advice as I do not want to pay attorney ?
Parker GPT recommends
Request a reasonable opportunity for LLC to obtain Florida counsel.
Ask that the court deny the motion to the extent it seeks dismissal, default, or an irreversible merits ruling.
Alternatively, ask that any striking be without prejudice and that the court allow the LLC time to appear through counsel and refile its answer and summary-judgment opposition.
Request that the summary-judgment proceedings be stayed or continued until counsel has appeared.
Preserve the substantive defenses and objections rather than abandoning them.
Thanks for any help
