If you have documents that support your case, you should attach those documents to the Complaint. (For instance attach, invoices, statements of account, contracts, work orders, etc..)
The cost to file a civil claim with the county Justice is $35.00 for the filing fee. The process server or Sheriff will serve the Defendant a copy of the Complaint and Summons.
