Our litigators have a proven record of success. We bring to every contest, regardless of its size, our years of experience and a commitment to excellence. We treat every case as if it were going to trial, but we are practical, results oriented attorneys. We never lose sight of the fact that the ultimate goal is to achieve a successful resolution in a cost-effective manner. By aggressively representing our client in the courtroom, we increase the chances of a successful negotiation outside the courtroom.

FAQ

Litigation law deals with legal disputes that are resolved through the court system. It includes filing lawsuits, defending against claims, pre-trial motions, discovery, trial, and appeals.
Litigation can involve civil cases (contract disputes, personal injury, real estate, employment issues, business disputes) or criminal cases (prosecuted by the government). Most commonly, “litigation” refers to civil cases.
Typical stages in a civil lawsuit include: Filing a complaint (lawsuit begins). Service of process (notifying the defendant). Answer and motions (initial responses). Discovery (exchange of evidence). Pre-trial negotiations or mediation. Trial (presentation of evidence before a judge/jury). Appeal (optional review by higher court).
No. In fact, most cases settle before trial through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Settlement often saves time, money, and stress.
Mediation – a neutral third party helps the parties negotiate a voluntary agreement. Arbitration – a neutral third party (arbitrator) makes a binding decision, similar to a private trial. Litigation – a public lawsuit decided by a judge or jury.
