You start a lawsuit by filing a complaint. In some circumstances, you file a petition or a motion. The court has several complaint forms that you may use in drafting your complaint. The forms are available online and at the Pro Se Intake Unit.
When the defendant files an answer to the complaint, a copy of the answer must be provided to the plaintiff. An affidavit of service is then filed as proof that the document was provided to the other party.
Come prepared. Bring the original document and at least two copies of any evidence you plan to present. Write out the questions you plan to ask and go over them with your witness before the hearing. Have a clear plan of what you plan to say and the order you plan to say it.
