Recebi uma citação judicial, o que devo fazer?

Many people have their first contact with the justice system when they receive a court summons by mail or from a court officer. Many feel lost and unsure of who to turn to. Here are some options: seek legal counsel, contact the Public Defender's Office, try to reach an agreement directly with the other party, or send an email to the Conciliation Center – a process you can find on the CNJ website. When the court officer visits, talk to them! Court officers are impartial and can reassure you in these initial moments, providing valuable information about the court order.
