Civil & Commercial Litigation

CIVIL & COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Civil Litigation is a broad area of practice. If you have been sued or are contemplating suing someone, whether it involves general casualty, construction disputes, personal injury, breach of contract, business disputes, or otherwise, contact us for a complimentary discovery call. We can help you evaluate your rights and options and determine a path forward. We will investigate your case and attempt dispute resolution prior to filing suit, depending on the type of case. The way to do that often depends on whether a contractual dispute resolution provision is involved and whether any statutes govern the dispute. However, every situation is unique and sometimes a lawsuit needs to be filed quickly.

Furthermore, if you are on the receiving end of litigation or threatened litigation, you need to act quickly so as to not miss any court deadlines or waive any rights or defenses. We are experienced defense litigators and will step in to defend you aggressively.
