Representation in Multiple Types of Civil Cases

Civil litigation will usually involve a claim that one party has harmed the other, and a plaintiff may seek compensation from a defendant, or they may ask a court to enforce a defendant's legal requirements. Before initiating litigation, a plaintiff will typically send a demand letter to the defendant that specifies the amount that should be paid or the actions the defendant should take. The plaintiff will then file a complaint in civil court, and the defendant will be served with a summons and given the opportunity to file a response. The parties will conduct discovery, where they may obtain relevant information through interrogatories, depositions, subpoenas, or other methods. The parties may be able to negotiate a settlement, or the case may proceed to trial. At the conclusion of the trial, a judge or jury will rule in favor of the plaintiff or the defendant.

Our lawyers can assist with multiple different types of civil litigation, including:

• Mechanic's Liens - A contractor or subcontractor may place a lien on a property if they were not fully paid for construction work that was performed. We can assist with filing or defending against these types of liens, or we can help clear liens that may prevent the completion of a residential or commercial real estate transaction.
• Breach of Contract - If one party to a contract claims that the other has violated the contract's terms, they may pursue litigation to recover damages or enforce contractual obligations. We provide representation for both plaintiffs and defendants in breach of contract cases.
• Neighbor Disputes - Disagreements between neighbors related to boundaries, property damage, or nuisances may need to be resolved through litigation. We can help property owners understand how laws and regulations apply to these disputes, and we will work to negotiate agreements between neighbors or pursue legal action when necessary.
• Business Litigation - We provide representation in disputes between business partners or shareholders, between employers and employees, or between a business and a person or organization that has caused them financial harm.
• Probate Litigation - In cases involving contested wills or estates, we provide representation for family members or other beneficiaries, helping them ensure that their loved one's wishes are carried out correctly.
• Real Estate Litigation - We can assist with disputes related to violations of the terms of a purchase contract in a real estate transaction.
