A summons is a legal document issued by a court that notifies an individual or entity that a lawsuit has been filed against them and that they must respond to the complaint within a specified period of time. A subpoena is a different type of legal document that requires someone to provide evidence or appear in court. A complaint is the initial legal document that starts a lawsuit, but it is not used to notify the defendant of the lawsuit. A suggestion is not a legal term commonly used in this context.
