A Louisiana attorney could help you best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Do you know what kind of matter they are suing you for? That's the first thing to figure out. That could help answer your question about what kind of lawyer is needed here. If you need help with this, you could check the resources of the Louisiana State Bar Association. You could also contact the Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, which provides free, civil legal aid, based on income. There are probably additional resources you could learn about after making a few phone calls or online searches. If you reach someone online who could help at one of these organizations, and you have a smartphone, maybe you could take a few shots of the first couple of pages of the papers you received and that might help them in determining what needs to be done. Good luck
