Discovery Requests

Discovery requests are legal tools used by parties in a lawsuit to obtain information and evidence from the opposing party or third parties. They can take various forms, such as interrogatories (written questions), requests for production of documents, or requests for admissions. Discovery requests are typically served on the opposing party after the complaint has been filed and must be responded to within a specified time frame. The purpose of discovery is to allow parties to gather information relevant to the case, narrow the issues in dispute, and prepare for trial. Discovery requests must be tailored to the specific case and must not be overly broad, burdensome, or seek privileged information. The responses to discovery requests can be used as evidence in court and can help parties assess the strengths and weaknesses of their case.
