A Complaint is more than a document; it is the foundation of every civil lawsuit. It serves several functions for a plaintiff: putting the action on record with the Court, providing notice to Defendants, framing the material facts, delineating causes of action and asking for relief. The Complaint can be a powerful platform for persuasion and the strategic blueprint for how the advocate will argue the case.
David Graulich, Esq. explains that sometimes-best practice is to write a lean, concise Complaint with minimal details, while other circumstances call for a highly detailed Complaint with a colorful and dramatic narrative.
