Sued in state court? Under 28 U.S.C. § 1446, a defendant can move a case to federal court when the plaintiff’s complaint raises a federal question or the parties are diverse; § 1446(b) sets the time, counted from service. A federal counterclaim does not by itself make a case removable. You can read through the wizard now; it produces the document once its rules are reviewed by a licensed attorney.
The Notice of removal template is waiting for a licensed attorney to review its rule data. Until then SynthCounsel does not produce this document, so answering the questions will not give you one.
You can still read through the questions to see what it asks and what to gather.
Once in federal court, challenge the complaint under FRCP 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim, lack of standing, or statute of limitations.
