where have you been??? Everything costs money!! Do you think you can sue someone for free?? It would be best to file in the district/township where the person you plan on suing lives!!

Better yet, if you are this clueless on how the system works, see a local attorney. Many will give you a free consultation.

Before you attempt to sue someone it would be best to educate yourself on the Law. It is apparent just by you asking if there is a cost involved in trying to sue someone, you are clueless. You better examine all your facts before proceeding with anything. You may find out you have no case at all.
