In civil court, you are not entitled to the appointment of an attorney in the same way you are in criminal court. However, you do NOT want to ignore the case against you.
Many attorneys provide pro bono (free) legal services for indigent (poor) people. Get on the phone and start calling law firms. Ask, "Does your firm provide pro bono services for indigent defendants?" If they say, "No..", ask "Do you know who you can refer me to?"
Also, Google "free legal services in [your state]" Various nonprofit groups might be able to help.
Finally, if there is a law school in your area, contact them. Most law schools handle cases in their Law Clinics for no charge. All cases are supervised by an experienced attorney, but are handled by law students.
While you search for representation, you need to pay close attention to any due dates that apply to you. For example, you probably have 30 days to file an "Answer" once you've been served with a lawsuit. Call the clerk of the court where the case is filed. He or she will be invaluable to you, at least initially, in answering basic questions.
Get busy! Pick up the phone and start making those calls! Good luck.

It depends on a number of factors. Very often, they are homeless, so they have no place to wash their bodies nor their clothes. Maybe there are no shelters available, or they have problems which keep them out of the shelters. People with mental illnesses, violent behavior, substance abuse problems, or who are members of certain marginalized communities may have difficulty staying in shelters.
Then there are the poor people who have places to stay. They might not be able to afford transportation to go wash their clothes. Low income apartments often don't have washer and dryer access. The functioning poor might also suffer mental or physical illnesses which keep them from taking proper care of themselves.
Then there are health problems. If you have diabetes or kidney disease, or you are up in age, you might have body odor. If you are poor, you might not be able to afford proper medical care.
Elasticity is the percentage change in one variable resulting from a percentage change in another variable. Thus, the price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded of a good resulting from a percent change in its price. Elastic demand means that the percentage change in quantity demanded of the good is greater than the percentage increase in price. This means that the demand for a good is very sensitive relative to price. Therefore, if the price increases by one dollar the quantity demanded for that good will decrease by a lot and if the price decreases by one dollar the quantity demanded for that good will increase by a lot. The determinants of price elasticity of demand are: substitutes of the good, percentage of income the good's price, and the need of the good. Substitutes are other goods that have the same or similar function to the particular good; if there are many substitutes then the price will be elastic in which the primary good becomes too expensive consumers will switch their demand to a close substitute, and if there are not many substitutes the price will be inelastic in which the primary good becomes very expensive consumers will have to buy that good no matter what. If the price of the good is a large percent of the consumer's income the elasticity of demand will be high, since the consumer will not want to spend the majority of their income on one good. If the good is a necessity, for example food, then people will have to buy it no matter the price therefore it will be very inelastic. If the good is a luxury good like a yacht then the demand elasticity will be very elastic.
How much do American prostitutes make?
90, 000 a year depending on how good they perform sexually.
Oh dear, an answer like this shouldn't be given with no support at all. I don't know how much money prostituted women average. There was a study done in LA that concluded that the women generally made a few thousand more than other unskilled laborers. That study was based on asking more than a thousand women -- which is great, but still suspect. People had to remember or estimate what they'd made over the past year. How many women want to admit, or even remember, just how little they were sometimes willing to accept for sex? I've worked with prostituted women in Baltimore for years now. They are all poverty stricken. I've addressed this question in more detail in the blog, vickie's prostitution blog.
