FAQ Civil Litigation

What is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve non-criminal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations. Common issues include contract disagreements, property disputes, and financial claims.

Do I need a lawyer for a civil case?

You’re not required to have a lawyer, but civil cases often involve strict deadlines, complex rules of evidence, and procedural requirements. An experienced attorney can help protect your interests and improve your chances of success.

Can I settle my case without going to court?

Absolutely. Many civil disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. We always explore cost-effective solutions before recommending trial.

What kind of damages can I recover in a civil case?

That depends on the nature of the claim. You may be able to recover financial losses, and in some cases, punitive damages, or attorney’s fees.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Any documents related to your dispute — contracts, emails, letters, invoices, photos, or court paperwork. The more context we have, the better we can assess your legal options.
