Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve non-criminal disputes between parties. It includes cases involving breaches of contract, tort claims, discrimination, and other civil rights issues. Unlike criminal cases, civil litigation typically focuses on compensation or specific performance rather than punishment, and it follows a structured procedure governed by rules of civil procedure.
The civil litigation process begins with the filing of a complaint and includes discovery, where both parties exchange information relevant to the case. This is followed by pre-trial motions, settlement discussions, and if necessary, a trial where evidence is presented. Our firm guides clients through each stage, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and strategic decision-making.
Familiarity with certain legal terms can help clients better understand their cases. Below are definitions of common terms you may encounter during litigation.
A complaint is the initial legal document filed by the plaintiff outlining the claims against the defendant and the relief sought. It starts the civil litigation process.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase where both parties exchange evidence and information to prepare for trial, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests.
A settlement is an agreement reached by parties to resolve the dispute outside of court, often involving payment or other terms acceptable to both sides.
A motion is a formal request made to the court to issue a ruling or order on a specific matter related to the case.
When facing a civil dispute, you may consider different approaches such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or full litigation. Each option has distinct advantages depending on your circumstances, timeline, and desired outcome. Our firm helps you assess these choices to determine the most suitable path for resolving your matter effectively.
For disputes involving straightforward facts and minimal damages, limited legal action such as demand letters or negotiation may resolve the issue efficiently without extensive litigation.
