Question

What steps must i take before filing a complaint to ensure i receive mandatory statutory fees and costs

Answer

That would depend entirely on what statute you hope to recover fees and costs under. Costs are generally recoverable by the prevailing party without any pre-filing requirements. You just have to win and prove your costs at the end. If you expect to recover attorneys fees, the first thing you have to do is hire an attorney. Beyond that, as I said, it depends on the statute you hope to recover under.
