Letter Recieved From Attorney's Office

A letter came from an Attorney's Office in the regular lail; it did not need to be signed for. I know that my mother has a lawsuit against a General Contractor, and that this letter is from his attorney. This General Contractor is supposedly trying to counter sue me, for some ridiculous reason, but I have not been served with anything and have not received anything from him or his attorney prior to this letter arriving. The mail in which this letter was a part of was picked up by someone other than myself, so I have not personally touched this letter. My question is: Since I have not been served in any official capacity, do I have to open this letter? Or, can someone just throw this letter away, considering it ''junkmail''?

It is impossible to tell you what you legally "have" to do without knowing what the letter is about. You should open the letter to find out what it is and then consult a local attorney to review it and give you advice. It is never a good idea to simply ignore a potentially important letter.
