Best Answer

You appear in court on the date requested. You may want to hire an attorney before the appearance.

Additional: You will know why you are being summoned. Receiving a summons to court does not necessarily mean that you will need an attorney to assist you,you may simply be being summonsed as a witness to some event (e.g.: car accident - etc).
