Named in a complaint? Respond on the record.
Every respondent has a permanent, free right of reply on the same docket, with equal prominence. Responding is never conditioned on payment, and the reply channel never closes.
How it works
- Create an account (or sign in) with an email you control.
- Claim your profile. Tell us how we can verify that you are the person named: bar or juris number, an official court or firm email we can write to, or a chambers phone number. This prevents impersonation in both directions.
- File your answer. Once verified, you can answer each allegation (admit, deny, contest, or add context), file a narrative answer, and attach your own exhibits. Your filing is docketed immediately with the same prominence as the complaint.
- Verify it, if you choose. An answer sworn under penalty of perjury is marked ✓ Verified, exactly as a verified complaint is. An unsworn answer is published too, marked Unverified.
- Supplement at any time. The record stays open for both sides.
Responding is not an admission of anything. If you believe a case violates the complaint content policy (for example, it discloses sealed material or targets a private individual), you may also request review through contact, citing the case number. Both paths are available.
