Civil Litigation
Our Firm provides aggressive legal representation for individuals and companies who have been civilly wronged.
Unlike criminal prosecution, civil action is a lawsuit brought to court in order to receive damages or to recover a right. Civil litigation usually involves disputes of private law issues between individuals, businesses or non-profit organizations. At the same time, civil litigation can entail public law issues.
A civil litigation lawsuit is started as soon as the plaintiff files a written complaint. The defendant will then respond by delivering a written answer to the complaint – also called a plea.
After the answer is filed, the parties engage in the discovery process. The discovery process is the pre-trial phase in a lawsuit in which each party can request documents and other evidence, including the questioning of witnesses, from other parties. At this point, the parties will learn all the facts involved in the case in order to prepare the trial or a settlement.
