Do you need an attorney when you are being sued for credit card debt?

No. However, it would be prudent to have legal representation or at least obtain legal advise on the matter. A summons for a civil suit for debt does not require a court appearance of the debtor/defendant. But if the defendant does not appear at the time of the hearing he or she will lose by default and a judgment will be automatically entered in favor of the plaintiff. A defendant in a civil suit of any sort should make themselves aware of the laws of the state in which they reside as to the type and amount of personal and real property that can be protected (exempted) from attachment or seizure and sale by a judgment creditor. Such exempted property is usually the same as that which is used in bankruptcy.
