You need to speak with a local attorney about this, and quickly.

If you have been served with a summons, this means a lawsuit has been filed against you and you only have a limited time (typically 30 days from the date you received the summons) to respond or a default judgment could be issued against you.

You can locate a local attorney using www.martindale.com or by using your state bar associations lawyer referral service (find it by "googling" the name of your state and the phrase "bar association lawyer referral".

You want an attorney experience with employment and/or contract litigation.
