Lexi, Chatbot

I understand you're considering sending an intent to sue via email. Have you already tried to resolve the issue with the other party directly?

I attempted contact to no avail.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Are you looking to send the intent to sue yourself, or are you seeking legal advice on how to proceed with this matter?

Myself.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your intent to sue.

Can you tell me the appropriate courthouse to file a lawsuit over $100k in King County, WA? Non-civil rights. I was not an inmate, so state, not federal, correct?

It sounds like a Section 1983 civil rights federal case.
