訴状をアップロードするNot legal advice: This page explains, in plain language, how a legal document typically works. It is general information — not legal advice about your specific situation. If the stakes are meaningful, or a deadline is close, speak with a licensed lawyer before relying on anything you read here.
What a lawsuit actually is
A lawsuit is a formal legal action filed by one party (the plaintiff) against another (the defendant) in a court of law. When you're served with a summons and complaint, you are being notified that someone has asked a court to decide a dispute involving you — and that the court expects your response.
The paperwork you've just received is not a verdict. It is the opening move. What you do next — and how quickly — determines whether the court hears your side at all. In most jurisdictions the clock starts the moment you are served, and in every jurisdiction the deadline is short enough that reading the document the day it arrives is a good idea.
The documents use dense, formal language on purpose: to satisfy procedural rules. That same density is what makes them hard to act on. Attorly reads the complaint, identifies the claims, pulls out the deadlines, and tells you — in plain English — what you are actually being asked to respond to.

What to do right now
If you were served today, work through this list in order.
- 1
Write down the date you were served
Your response clock starts on the date of service, not the date on the documents. This single fact determines every deadline in the case.
- 2
Read the complaint, not just the summons
The summons tells you that a lawsuit exists. The complaint tells you what you are accused of. Upload both — Attorly extracts the claims for you.
- 3
Preserve evidence and stop deleting anything relevant
Emails, texts, contracts, receipts — anything related to the dispute must be preserved from this point. Deleting potentially relevant records after being served can create additional legal exposure.
- 4
Decide whether to answer, settle, or file a counterclaim
You typically have three responses: file an Answer, try to settle, or file a counterclaim. Attorly explains which one fits your situation and what each costs in time and money.
- 5
Talk to a lawyer before you miss the deadline
For complex claims, consultations are usually free or low-cost. Walking in with a clear summary of the case — which Attorly produces — makes that first meeting far more productive.
