What is the first step in the litigation process?

  1. Hire an attorney

  2. Meeting with a judge

  3. Drafting the Complaint

  4. Investigation

The correct answer is: Hire an attorney

The first step in the litigation process is to hire an attorney. While meeting with a judge and drafting a complaint are important steps that may occur later in the process, hiring an attorney is necessary to begin the litigation process. Similarly, while investigation may occur before or after hiring an attorney, it is not the first step. The first step in any legal process is to secure proper representation and guidance from an experienced attorney.
