I want to sue someone. I already filled out the intent to sue form, what do I do now?

I understand you've filled out the intent to sue form. Have you already consulted with a lawyer regarding your case?

No.

Can you provide more details about the situation that led you to fill out the intent to sue form?

For a room we had paid for on trip we were taking. And a stash box custom build never got and threats from the people.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your legal issue.

I can tell more when I talk with them.

After filing an intent to sue form, here are some next steps to take:

  • Prepare Your Evidence: Gather all documentation related to the room you paid for, the custom-built stash box, and any communications (such as emails, text messages, or recorded conversations) with the people you're suing. If there are any threats, make sure you keep a record of them too.
  • Wait for a Response (If Required): Depending on your jurisdiction, after filing the intent to sue, the defendant may have a certain period to respond before proceeding to the next stage. For example, Texas imposes a mandatory notice period before certain types of litigation can be filed (TX Civ Prac & Rem Code § 74.051(a)). Your lawyer will help you navigate this.
  • Filing the Formal Complaint: If the other party does not respond or if a resolution is not reached through informal methods, you will proceed with filing a formal complaint (also known as a petition or a statement of claim) with the court. Your lawyer will assist you with this step.
  • Prepare for Court or Settlement: Depending on the response from the defendant, you may need to prepare for court. Some cases can be settled outside of court, but if it goes to trial, your lawyer will help you prepare all necessary documents and evidence.

Okay. When will I talk to an attorney?

I need to get the forms to do this. Can I get the forms to do this? Where can I get the forms?

After filling out the intent to sue form, your next step is to gather all supporting evidence, such as receipts, communications, and proof of any threats, to strengthen your case. You may need to wait for a response from the other party, depending on your jurisdiction's timeline. If no resolution is reached, you can file a formal complaint with the court, which your attorney can assist with. From there, you’ll prepare for either settlement discussions or a potential trial.

Okay.
