Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
amend civil suit
What do I have to do to amend a civil suit to include more damages and a more definitive statement. An attorney prepered the suit, horrible experience, and now I have the task of fixing it.

With all due respect, even if you do not feel that your prior attorney did a good job with the Complaint, you should think twice about going pro se.
Civil litigation is not a simple process, and notwithstanding your dissatisfaction, you should consider seeking new counsel.

Your questions makes little sense. If Jonathan had not accepted it, I would have suggested that you rewrite it.
Re: amend civil suit
It depends on the situation, if the other side has made a Motion for a more definite statement, you can file an Amended and Restated Complaint to include the items requested.
If not and they have filed an answer, you need to file a Motion for leave to Amend your complaint.
