We consistently seek to reduce or avert legal complications when engaging with intricate legal or financial matters.
To achieve this, we seek attorney services that are often quite costly.
However, not all legal situations are particularly complicated. Many can be managed independently.

2033.210. (a) The party to whom requests for admission have been directed shall respond in writing under oath separately to each request. (b) Each response shall answer the substance of the requested admission, or set forth an objection to the particular request.
(i) A party that files a complaint, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party complaint must serve its initial disclosures within 14 days after any opposing party files an answer to that pleading.
If the motion is based on the failure to serve answers, proof of service of the interrogatories must be filed with the motion. The motion must state that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with the party not making the disclosure in an effort to secure the disclosure without court action.
These might include requests to produce documents, or to answer written questions (called ?interrogatories?), or to admit or deny certain facts (called ?request for admissions?).
Then interrogatories are served and due in 30 days, but frequently it could take 60 or 90 days to obtain those responses.
Motions to Compel ? If a party doesn't respond to interrogatories or requests for production, then the party seeking those answers must file a motion to compel with the court. If the court grants the motion to compel, then the party who objected or failed to answer must then do so.
In a civil action, a request for admission is a discovery device that allows one party to request that another party admit or deny the truth of a statement under oath. If admitted, the statement is considered to be true for all purposes of the current trial.
The party to whom interrogatories have been propounded shall respond in writing under oath separately to each interrogatory by (1) an answer containing the information sought to be discovered, (2) an exercise of the party's option to produce writings, or (3) an objection to the particular interrogatory.
Interrogatories are to be raised at a pre-trial stage and must have a close connection with the matter in question, whereas cross examinations have a wider scope of questions that can be asked.
