Civil Litigation is an incredibly broad subject area.
Essentially, it includes any kind of litigation that is not criminal,
family, or probate. I will meet with you, discuss your case and tell you
what I think is required to resolve the dispute in your favor. I
have dealt extensively with contract disputes and other kinds of
disputes. I have successfully become involved with disputes
between insured parties and their insurance companies. I have also
defended clients in disputes with debt collectors, and represented
businesses in disputes with other businesses. Sometimes, litigation is not the answer.
Sometimes a negotiated solution will resolve the dispute on acceptable
terms.
Whether the best path forward involves negotiation or litigation, there is no substitute for having
a lawyer in your corner that will fight for you.
Have you been sued?
It has been said that short of losing a family
member, there is nothing more traumatic than being sued. If that
happens to you, I invite you to unburden yourself and give those
problems to me. I will go to work aggressively representing your
interests. I have successfully represented many parties who have
found themselves forced to defend against a lawsuit.
The most important advice that I can give you is this: "Ignore it and it
will go away" is NOT sound advice when you have received a summons.
You need to immediately seek legal advice. If you
find yourself in this situation, you have 20 days to answer the summons
or a default judgment will be entered against you - at which point there
may be little that anyone can do.
I stand ready to meet with you and discuss the
allegations contained in the "Petition" or "Complaint" and assist you with the
preparation of an answer and preserve any legal defense that you may
have to the allegations made by the Plaintiff. We
see our job as two fold: first to defend you against the suit and second
as to mitigate the potential exposure and to resolve the suit with the
least possible loss to you. All the way, it is our goal to provide
you with both competent representation and good advice. Feel free
to contact us to discuss your case and the options available to you
under law.
