Civil Litigation

Has your business partner breached the contract you have together? Is your neighbor looking to start building a fence on your property, but they are being unreasonable? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, it may be time to consider a civil suit. The aim of a civil litigation lawsuit is not to impose jail or prison time for the offending party, but rather to force them to pay financial compensation/restitution or perform a specific action (such as forcing a person to perform under the terms of the contract). When faced with a situation where you or your business need legal counsel, there are certain criteria you should look for in a law firm. You need attorneys who have extensive knowledge of procedural and substantive law, exceptional negotiation and interpersonal skills, and a proactive approach.
