Civil cases won by defendants less than 10,000.00?

I am looking for information on inproper civil cases won by defendants. How to do amendments to the complaints, or any assistance in trial brief, interrogatoriesCivil cases won by defendants less than 10,000.00?
You are asking a lot.





It appears you may be trying to represent yourself. This is decidedly unwise. The attorney for the plaintiff knows the procedures for amending a complaint, for preparing a trial brief, and the process of discovery. (Interrogatories are just one discovery tool). Unless you have had the legal training, you should not be doing this yourself.





Many people get sued, and then decide that they can't afford to hire a lawyer to defend them. In many cases, they decide this because they decide that they don't have a case, and that there is no reason to pay more money to someone else. This means they are giving themself bad advice.





It seems to me that it would be wise for you to make an appointment with a lawyer for a consultation. Let the lawyer evaluate your case and determine if there is merit to your defense. Then, you can negotiate with them on the cost of defending it, or if there are other options rather than taking it to trial.





Without training and experience, if you take the matter to trial yourself, the outcome is unlikely to be in your favor.
