Civil Litigation

CIVIL LITIGATION

Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations. It typically involves one party filing a lawsuit — known as a civil claim — to seek compensation or other legal remedies. These cases can cover a wide range of issues, from construction delays to breach of contract.

Legal disputes can arise when you least expect them — a contractor doesn’t follow through, a workplace issue spirals, or a business agreement breaks down. In these moments, it’s normal to feel uncertain: Do you have a case? What are your rights? What will it take to resolve the issue?

Contracts are the backbone of business and personal transactions. When they’re broken or misunderstood, the result can be stress, delays, and significant financial loss, especially for small business owners, contractors, and homeowners.
