The phrase ‘civil litigation’ refers to the process of resolving non-criminal disputes through the court system, encompassing a broad scope of legal issues such as breach of contract, personal injury, and family law.

Common forms of civil law conflicts include those related to:

  • Business litigation
  • Breach of contracts
  • Property damage
  • Insurance claims
  • Construction litigation
  • Consumer litigation
  • Products liability
  • Product defects
  • Torts
  • Landlord-tenant issues
  • Employment disputes

If you need to pursue a claim, we can help you file a lawsuit, which is the first step in initiating legal action. Most civil disputes settle out of court, either with the case being dropped or with both parties agreeing to terms for fair monetary compensation or other forms of legal remedy. Mediation is often used as an alternative dispute resolution method before proceeding to trial, offering a voluntary and informal way to resolve disputes.

When cases do go to court, judges and juries play a central role in deciding the outcome of the proceeding. Throughout every stage of the legal proceeding, our firm is committed to protect your interests and develop strategies that safeguard your rights and assets.

It is important to remember that civil litigation is subject to strict time limitations, so acting promptly is crucial to avoid losing your right to bring or defend a case.

PHASES OF THE CIVIL LITIGATION PROCESS

Navigating the civil litigation process can seem overwhelming, but our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through every phase. The process typically begins when a party, known as the plaintiff, files a lawsuit to address a legal issue. The defendant, or the party being sued, must then respond within a set timeframe, addressing the allegations made in the case.

Once the initial pleadings are filed, both parties enter the discovery phase, where they exchange information, documents, and written questions to clarify the facts and issues involved. Depositions may also be conducted, allowing attorneys to question parties and witnesses under oath. Throughout this stage, our attorneys work diligently to uncover the information necessary to build a strong case.

Before trial, motion practice allows the court to resolve certain legal issues and define the scope of the case. If the matter proceeds to trial, both parties present their evidence and arguments before a judge or jury. The trial’s length and complexity depend on the specific issues and the number of witnesses involved. After a verdict is reached, either party may have the right to appeal the decision to a higher court.

At every step, from the beginning of your case to its resolution, our attorneys are committed to protecting your rights and interests. We ensure you understand each phase, respond to your questions, and provide the support you need to make informed decisions throughout the litigation process.

The experienced attorneys at Foley Freeman, PLLC will provide responsive support from the moment we take your case until the close of our services. We will represent your interests through every stage of your case, which may include:

  • Pleadings

If settling your case early on will achieve the best result, we will explain why we believe it is better to settle than pursue litigation.
