San Jose, CA asked in Civil Litigation for California

Q: I was served with a lawsuit, the Plaintiff Attorney wrote "Attorney for defendant" on the complaint. Will this hurt him.

The complaint, where all the allegations are written has his name and address on the top left corner and under that he has a mistake, instead of writing, attorney for plaintiff, he writes attorney for defendant. Can I use it to my advantage. USDC

A: It sounds like a simple typo. It might cause the other attorney a moment of embarrassment, but it's unlikely to do more than that.
