 Look at the document you received and see how long they gave you to file an answer.  If you cannot afford an attorney, WRITE THE CASE NUMBER on a document, say I DENY EVERYTHING IN THE COMPLAINT, and mail the document back to the court.  You will then get notice of a court date or further action.  If you have assets that you need to protect, it is highly advised that you hire a lawyer at this next step of the case.  

The Alabama Bar has a HELP LINE that is free:

 You will be quoted an initial fee up front that must be paid via payment link sent   You will be billed for emails, telephone calls, pleadings and court appearances out of this initial fee. If this is a flat fee, no other fee will be required to continue representation.  If the fee is the initial retainer fee, an additional fee may be required as the case continues to move forward.  Inquire about the payment plan after your initial lump sum fee is paid!

The consultation will last 30 minutes to an hour.  If there is already a pending case, the consultation will be to discuss your desired outcome for the case.  If there is no pending case, the consultation will be to gather information to determine the next course of action.
