What is a 'Complaint'?

Understanding the document that starts a lawsuit.

The Complaint is the initial document that we, on your behalf, file with a court to formally begin a lawsuit. This document outlines the core of your case for the court and the opposing party.

It typically contains three main parts:

  1. Factual Allegations: A short and plain statement of the facts that form the basis of your legal claims.
  2. Legal Claims: An identification of the specific laws that were violated by the employer's actions (e.g., discrimination, retaliation).
  3. Request for Relief: A statement of what you are seeking from the court, such as monetary damages.

You may find it helpful to review your Complaint from time to time to refresh your recollection of the facts and legal claims that support your case.
