i went to the clerk of courts and looked at my file , i filed a suit to have a barn removed from my easment in november 2006 the defendent filed a leave to plead in january 2007 they filed their answer to the suit and a counterclaim on feb 27 th my attorney did not reply until he was sent a motion for dismissal and for judgement on the counter claim for me to pay his attoney fees on oct 1 st. my attorney sent a leave to plead the same day as he received the dismiss notice it is set for oct 24th . what will the judge look for , since the reply to the counterclaim was not done does that automatically put my case in default I am not sure if i should let it go to the motion for default on the 24 th or if i should get another attorney before to 24 th i paid this guy up front for his services and i think he may have put my case in a bad way i am in ohio
