I just want to thank all you great folks out there that watch my legal channel. You are a great crowd and have helped me make law more understandable and accessible to the average person. - Attorney Steve -
I want to thank you. I have been in court pro se since 2013 with a number of claims associatedd with a law firm who is extoring my father. I have been watching your videos and I feel like a graduate of Attorney Steve Vondran Whiteboard Litigation School. I finally turned the tables and I am getting traction thanks to you. Cheers.
The only way you know that you've mastered something is when you can TEACH it...Master Steve..you ROCK!!!!!!

Thanks Ms. J for your comments. I am glad you find it helpful! Keeps me motivated to post more general legal videos!! Have a great day.
Steve you have helped me so very much in handling a very ugly stalking and harassment issue. He is suing me over a bed he purchased for me after I broke off our relationship. He is very powerful and wealthy. You helped me understand how to handle this. Im still researching how to handle it. He has endless money to fight and is just doing it to make me miserable for breaking off our relationship. He has texted and left horrible horrible things, so stressful. Thanks Steve!
Thank you for taking the timeout to teach people the proper structure of a legal complaint.🤓😃
Anytime, thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much Attorney Steve. The info is quite educative.
He's no joke!
You are welcome, just trying to help people understand the legal process in general. Glad you liked it!!
Would be easy to listen to you all day. Your very resourceful and your motivational too. Thank you!
Thank you that's a really nice compliment!! Steve
@@attorneysteve lol
This just taught me more than my intro to legal studies class, and that's just sad. You should be a professor, thank you for taking the time to visually explain this!
What an awesome job Mr. Vondran, you actually broke the process down in layman's terms. May God bless you for the information you shared.
Ye God bless you two! Great videos!
Thank you for telling us how to file a Civil Complaint. It makes Filing a Civil Complaint, Step by Step.
Omg I love you for posting these videos! You are AWESOME!
LOL Del Boy, good one! The best tip is to stay out of problems in the first place, then there would never be a complaint to deal with. Of course, in life that is easier said than done. The second point is you are always free to handle your own complaints and represent yourself in legal matters. That's what this video is about. Hope you enjoyed it! Keep in mind the old saying however: "the person that represents himself has a fool for a client." Have a great day!
+Steve Vondran I have watched quite a few of your videos and they have helped me to better comprehend how the law works. Most plaintiff attorneys don't have the time to explain the intricate details of the civil lawsuit process. It's a shame that most plaintiffs represented by counsel have to learn the ropes on their own. I understand that attorneys are very busy and cannot give a civil lawsuit lesson to every new client. Thus, attorneys such as yourself are great because you take time to explain the law to everyone while having cases to litigate yourself. Thanks
Thank God I came across your how to videos. Thank you Steve. I have been hesitant to sue my landlord but after watching your videos......and as soon as this coronavirus epidemic dies down...I am going to get the ball rolling. Thank you again.
Best of luck.....access to the legal system is one of our goals...
Thank you Charlie. That one is coming after getting ready to file a series of these against a software trade organization that is trying to audit products that my client has never heard of. Stay tuned. It is on my short list and I expect to have it in the next 30 days. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE and thank you for taking time to comment!!! Cheers
Someone put one against me I have a very clean background
Thanks Santana! I appreciate your feedback and input!

That's what I do, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! :) I love it.
Again an again I value Attorney Steve.
Thanks David, and I will shoot more and more videos for that reason!! : )
Steve, your videos are awesome. Did you do a video on the Declaratory Judgement process too? I am interested on how that works exactly. For instance, is an answer to a Declaratory Judgement considered a countercliam of sorts, that can be given an answer as well?
thanks great help!!
Thanks for these great videos and advice. We have been severely harassed by our neighbor for over 5 years now and feel that we have no options for us since we are retired on a limited income and cannot afford expensive legal fees. I have spoken to the Sheriffs deputies several times and their response is that it’s our word against his. I have been keeping a running log of all of his harassment for 4 years. I have 15 pages of documentation. We are physically afraid of him and if we lose our case it would bankrupt us. Your comment is requested please. We are located in cave creek Arizona.
As a fellow viewer, I'm saddened to read you're going through all that and I hope you receive peace, justice and proper compensation.
I'm disabled and on a tight budget, as well...and, trying to sue someone who has broken numerous laws. I wish there were more people like this gentleman, lawyer Steve (from these great videos). Take good care and best wishes.
Thanks! This is very helpful❤️
this is very helpful. ty.
OMG, Where would I be without you!!!!!
Great informative video. Thanks. I subscribed to your channel, btw.
Thank you!!!!
You bet!!
Good told me to tell you that you are great and that he appreciate the freedom of information that you are sharing. Enjoy you start here at heaven. 💪
Thanks James, cheers to you all!!! Steve
What is a valid cause of action for a legal fiction? If we have a right to face our accuser how can we face that which doesn't exist except on paper?
Thank you for all the information you’re providing. It helps a lot. One question I do have is if I want to file a complaint against a resident of another state do I file the complaint in my state or theirs?
You are welcome Angel. That can be a tricky question and unfortunately, we are not allowed to give legal advice online. Here is a good article written by Nolo. www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/personal-jurisdiction-where-sue-defendant-29560.html
I looked this up because I am representing myself against my brother for a promissory note he signed after my stepfather passed away. I sued the estate and my brother got everything so it ended up looking like I was suing my brother not the estate although nothing to do with him, it had to do with my stepfather. My question is when filing the complaint, is it necessary to put in why I sued the estate or why he owes me all this money. He purposefully waited until the date the note was due {one year later} to tell me he didn't owe me and that I needed to sue him if I wanted any money from him. The reason I sued was personal and I just don't want to have to write personal stuff in there if it isn't necessary. The fact is he signed a promissory note to pay me. Not sure if the other reason matters. your RUclips channel is the most helpful and easy to understand that I have come across so I think I need to stick to yours if I am ever going to get this filed. It is so intimidating to do all this yourself and he knew it would be for me, that is the reason he said to sue him. I am thinking about putting that fact in there because it was intentional on his part, to make me hurt financially. He also is making me lose a ton of interest by not paying me 84 thousand dollars. this will be a year of non payment August 3rd. ]Not sure how to calculate or prove that but I am determined not to let him think I am just going to let him keep all that money and I am just going to go away. Thanks so much for all your information. I don't think I could even think about doing this without your knowledge and support.
Thank you
You are welcome!! SV
Hey Steve, I'm working on my suit and noticed that in the FRCP there is a section for Social Security Cases ( 78.2 ) . Me against Title 4-D ( Child Support ) If I'm doing a 1983 , do you think I would have to fallow those proceedings ? or just the general normal process ?
Incredibly useful information. In the punch example for Causes of Action would you recommend having the medical records or receipts attached in the Exhibits to further your point?
Thanks Tomas......our ethical rules prohibit us from giving legal advice online. I might incorporate that into a future video. Thanks for watching!!
If an alleged elder financial abuse happened in Indiana but defendants are now, 8 months later, residing in California, where is the proper jurisdiction? Thank you. Happy subscriber.
This is a great .
Thanks Jason!! SV
Sir, my goal is to be a secretary in the future, I will get back to you when my goal gets to be possible, God blessed you!
You can do it!! SV
This is so much more difficult than it looks. At least for me. Will he do my homework? lolol
Thanks, I appreciate that you put this up. I think nailing down all the proper statutes are tricky, especially dealing with fed and state on one complaint... It seems to be more difficult lol thanks again, technology is an amazing thing 😊
Thumbs up on this video, Attorney Steve. How can I find a court case for any given cause of action that actually went to trial and was decided in the plaintiff's favor? Seems next to impossible to find such a white elephant.(I'm within driving range of the Los Angeles law library.)
Online swervices such as Westlaw have "trial court documents" and "verdicts" where, for a free, you can access state court decisions. For federal court (federal cases), you can use Pacer. ruclips.net/video/ckKPzJZi__4/видео.html
@@attorneysteve Thanks, Attorney Steve. You're amazing!
🌈🙏💜 thank you soooo much!
You are welcome - thanks Carla!! SV
What is a summary judgment is that when the person is suing submitting paperwork their falling towards the other party
Great question. I have a video on that. ruclips.net/video/lMbOwCw7veY/видео.html
WE THE PEOPLE are figuring out EXACTLY who BAR Association members are what they are here in America to do.
Uniform Bonding Code Section 5.1, the definition of Lawyer while at the same time explaining who attorneys are. The lawful US Constitution of 1787/1789 forbids titles of nobility and the Nobility Clause within the valid Thirteenth Amendment appears to have been birthed (not berthed) to immediately jerk forever the American citizenship from ALL BAR Association members. Enjoy the definition.... Lawyer:
- A person learned in the law. One who understands law and who loves law for its capacity to rectify the evils of society. One who professes and practices "Liberty and Justice for all," and therefore the equal protection of the Law. Lawyers "practice" law. The U.S. Constitution provides over thirty guarantees of the equal protection of the law. A lawyer supports those provisions of guarantee; an attorney opposes those provisions. In America, a lawyer obeys the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land. An attorney does not obey the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, technically, a lawyer is bondable and an attorney is not bondable. State bar associations, which deal with both extremes, must therefore rely upon "self-bonding."

what exactly is a failure to state a claim? how can a person feel like they are stating a claim, yet a court may not think so? thanks I'm subscribing. very interesting info.
PANTYEATR1 you have to provide your facts your evidences will support your facts and the law that’s sided to your complaint or allegations explaining your facts with details information meaning dates, times, witnesses explain on writing exactly what happened with details information provided facts and evidence attached to your complaint with affidavits in my case I attached some evidence to my complaint with out affidavit ask court Liberian to hel you with this by giving you information in pleading practices books read and fallow instruction
Hi Steve - can you add another page if all of your complaints and damages do not fit on the 1 page summons?
hmm.....call your court clerk. They may help. SV
Are you wearing black nail polish?? You're awesome!
i got a complaint for car accident but i sold car and had release on file with dmv so not sure why listed, but the complaint is missing a bunch of check boxes. it has 15 questions and 7 are checked the rest are blank. do i answer all questions or just the ones checked?
I did a complaint and the defended try to do a dismiss for immunity... I answered there response and the judge send my response back and said that I have to do a motion of leave amended complaint.. what does that mean? Thanks!
Hello. What is "judgement proof" exactly? I've never heard of that before .
A compliant is something you should never take to a Solicitor if you want to get something done
great information ! nice presentation. how can i sue a police department for denying me a rescue after an accident? very sick prior to sustaining a head injury from a rear-end collision. Police denied me a hospital visit but instead fabricated evidence against me by planting drugs in my vehicle and falsifying police reports and interrogation video. prosecuted me for 8 months then dropped the charges after i lost lots of money and time defending this corrupt charge of d.u.i. they even dropped the charge of possession of drugs that they planted in my car. It only costs me my job, and sanity as well as trust in government I guess i have to sue them by myself. because no attorney wants to fight against gangsters of government
steve. I have a question, I filed timely civil rights complaints in central district court L.A. and have been dismissed for failure to state a claim- a 4th amendment right - failure to show under color of state action collins v. womancare, 878 F.2d 1145 (9th Cir.1989) under 28 U.S.C.§1915(e)(2)(b)(ii) under (1998) pre-lopez., see change in the law. lopez v. smith 203 F.3d 1122(9th Cir.2000) F.R.C.P.§60 (b). continuous custody and imprisonment and would any future re-filing to correct previous defects be treated as relation back theory F.R.C.P.§15(c)? specially when the complaint now would show state action and under color of state law and joint action conspiracy id. collins v womancare? and would you help me create the complaint and get over the hurdles ? such as tolling statute of limitations federal and state court claims? could you call me at 562 415 8248 wilhelmstraube@gmail.com will provide all necessary documents supporting facts ? thank you please answer????
This micro sound better mr Vondran
How much *ballpark* do you charge for a demand letter? Lets say a neighbor is throwing trash on someone's lawn, letter is to say "stop" in California.
$495
Steve Vondran a straight up no bs answer. You are the man Steve. Seriously great channel. You are my official first call. Thank you.
How do you file a complaint against the IRS?
I would Google "how do you file a complaint against the IRS." Good luck!! SV
What about when your attorney files a complaint to the sept of state because the doctor didn’t send medical records
Do you provide unbundled services?
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? PLEASE ANSWER. WHAT IS A 20 DAY REFILING PERIOD? i WILL BE SO HAPPY IF YOU ANSWER THIS:)
Amazing and informative.. Why dnt you come in Pakistan.. Plz
. I'm your big fan.. Love you dear
Aw, thank you!! Love Steve
So from what I gather from this video, along with other research I have done, there is no complaint without a cause of action. If there is no injury or harm spelled out, then there is no case. It would then be appropriate for the defense to file a motion to dismiss based on lack of jurisdiction because the court has no authority over a matter without controversy. As important as the claim or complaint itself is who is actually making the claim? Who is the plaintiff? Is it a living, breathing human being? Great. That makes sense. Is it a fictional legal entity such as a city, state, agency, etc. (corporation)? Okay, then someone within that organization has to have firsthand knowledge of any injury being claimed.
Why then, does a city, state, or otherwise any government corporation have the power to bring suit against an individual without a cause of action? For example, a speeding ticket. If a cop pulls you over and writes a ticket for going 15mph over the posted limit, but there is no other accusation or damages alleged, where is the complaint? How does a court have jurisdiction over a matter that does not have a cause of action? There is not a single sentence or phrase in any state constitution, or the US constitution that grants a court jurisdiction over any matter without a complaint or controversy. Without a cause of action, courts have no power to compel or order anyone or find judgement for or against anyone... There are only two types of jurisdiction in the United States: Civil and Criminal. Nowhere in the US is there a special jurisdiction for violations of law (statutes, codes, ordinances, etc.) without a cause of action.
To put it simply, if I speed and get a ticket, no court has jurisdiction over the simple fact that I violated a speeding statute or ordinance. If I speed, hit someone or otherwise damage property, then the court has jurisdiction because there is a cause of action. I have caused injury or harm. Where do courts get special jurisdiction over matters without an allegation of injury or harm? Is the city or state claiming that they have been injured or harmed by me ignoring their rules? Are they asserting that I have broken a contractual obligation to follow their rules? I've never seen either of these claims made on any sort of traffic ticket.
is it possible please provide me detail answer asap
If you have been mentally and emotionally injured by an attorney does it qualify as personal injury or malpractice?
Contact a lawyer in your state. Hard to know without hearing the facts. Good luck. SV
@@attorneysteve thank you!
But you don't want to tell them everything, how to decide?
Steve I'm a big fan of your work but I'm sorry to say that I'll be filling a complaint tords your shirt mic! Steve the evidence is overwhelming!
Does a complaint need a Affidavit attached for pro se attorney's?
Check your local rules. We cannot give legal advice online. But for example, I have never attached an affidavit to my complaint. Good luck! - Attorney Steve -
Steve Vondran ....Thank you. I appreciate all your time and information, i have learned alot from you. I already checked my local rules it it does not require any affidavits.
@@alonsomoreno8730 hmmm,,, doesn't require an affidavit ,,,hmmm,,, I don't give legal advice but for entertaining, a man could file a notarized affidavit and make a CLAIM and see what happens, it might be the law.
I’m just trying to pass a quiz lol in pre law
i tell you in a day and age where you state reps choose to back the law of the democracy instead of that in the constitution, information like this is at high demand. there are several cases i had going on myself and hope to apply a couple of these techniques that i will be forced to represent myself, if i want to bring them to light of day. so i thought id say thanks for the material you put online and plan to review a bit more of it as i have time. you still making these videos or practicing law?

The litigants are Domicile you don’t know there location only that there on government’s system of pay
what is do not solicit; is it the important document sir, do I need to keep that with the complaint
I have a complaint ahead of its time, its big. Can you lead me what to do? See my video documents which doesn't reveal all evidence. I have the smoking gun.
Caused you damages by a law broke
1:25 ... Well re: small claims court - unless you have a written agreement ... f'gettaboutit. The "judge" will either 1) Dismiss your case (in favor of the Defendant) in front of everyone or 2) Tell you he's taking your case "under advisement" which means he intends to dismiss it (in favor of the Defendant).
Small Claims court should properly be renamed: "The Communist Court of the State of [fill in the blank]." This is the transfer of wealth from the honest hard-working citizen to the criminal. Small Claims court = Communism. "What's yours is yours and what's yours is Theirs too." More often than not, the small claims court will rule in favor of the Defendant who is usually 1) A thief and 2) A liar.
Small claims court is like going to Vegas .. only the house wins.
I've won every small claims I've ever taken to court. Against big companies even. When your ducks are in a row and you are in the right... you win... Every time.

Only legal fiction can file a complaint only man can make a claim? What is the law? The law is no harm, no loss, no injury.
I do not need a lawyer, I go to court as myself, no cost. I do not represent a legal fiction entity.
