Re: getting sued
The sad reality. If, you have no money and or a negative net worth, you do not need to worry about being sued. Even if you are guilty. The attorney will advise the person suing there is nothing to take. If, you win you will get nothing.
In Florida, real estate laws prevent creditors from taking your home. Perhaps, a reason why OJ Simpson moved to Florida.
