Usually, your attorney sends the request for discovery. Are you doing this without counsel? Let me know. Or just send a question back through claiming you do not have an attorney. Thanks.

Discovery is the major part of the investigation: it's a process that allows you to get information and evidence from the opposing party in a lawsuit. By the way, discovery includes:

Depositions, which is when you ask the other party to answer questions

Written discovery, where you use things like "interrogatories"

Document discovery, where you ask the other party to give you certain documents and papers

You will have to pay for your discovery. So, you have to pay the costs of any deposition you ask for or the costs of copying documents you request.
