FAQ
What is the difference between filing in state vs. federal court?
Federal courts have limited jurisdiction and typically hear cases involving federal laws or disputes between citizens of different states over a certain amount. State courts have broader jurisdiction. The procedural rules are also different.
I'm not sure which court to file in. Can you advise me?
While I can explain the general differences, providing specific advice on where you should file falls under legal advice. This Gig is for drafting once you have determined the proper court.
Is this service confidential?
Yes. As a U.S. attorney, I am bound by professional standards of confidentiality. All information you share will be kept strictly private.
What do you need from me to get started?
I need a written summary of the facts, the name of the court you plan to file in, the full legal names of all parties involved, and any key documents (contracts, emails, photos, etc.).
Do you guarantee my case won't be moved from state to federal court (or vice versa)?
No. I can ensure the complaint is drafted correctly for the court you choose, but I cannot guarantee the opposing party won't try to "remove" the case to a different court system.
