You don't say what the person did to you to make it possible for you to sue him, so it is not easy to answer your question. If the person committed a recognized tort against you, and you file suit within the period of limitations for that tort, all you really have to do is put the right allegations into your complaint and file it and serve it on the defendant. You might find it useful to consult an attorney experienced in the kind of tort that you believe was committed, either to handle the case for you or at least to advise you about what to do. Good luck.

You hire a lawyer, or you go into small claims court yourself. Someone must pay the fee to file suit and to have the court papers served on the defendant. Someone may have to pay for the costs of any depositions or other discovery. Someone will have to pay for the jury fee. Either the lawyer will charge you a fee to work for you, or the lawyer will charge you the costs. There is no free lunch.

Assuming you know what the word, "tort" means and that the amount of money you want to sue for is less than $3000, you can file a claim in Small Claims Court yourself without a lawyer. The people there will lead you through what to do.

"No money" is no basis for a lawsuit. You need to have some kind of legal claim, and real damages caused by it, before you can sue.

Answer: There is not any way to answer this question without knowing more about the problem. Reasons to sue are many and vary with fact patterns. You should sit down with a tort lawyer, I am impressed you at least know this word, and let the lawyer decide if a valid cause of action exists.

You dont give me much info to go on. You can sue anybody in tort at any time. you can go to the courthouse and look at any suits filed by anyone and borrow from their language and file the suit yourself. Sounds like you have an emotional situation rather than a legal case.; send me more information if you care to

File a summons and complaint. You will also need an application for an index number, and once the papers are served, an affidavit of service. Then of course there are bills of particulars, discovery demands, depositions, pretrial conference and calendar call. Or, you could hire a lawyer to handle all that for you.
