Civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties that seek money damages or specific performance rather than criminal sanctions. Our firm represents clients in trials, hearings, arbitrations and mediations before administrative agencies, foreign tribunals and federal, state and local courts.

Civil litigation can be divided into seven stages: investigation, pleadings, discovery, pre-trial, trial, settlement and appeal. Not every lawsuit passes through each stage of litigation; most lawsuits are settled prior to trial and many cases that reach a trial verdict are not appealed.

The lifespan of a lawsuit can range from several months to several years. Complex civil litigation often takes years to pass from pre-suit investigation through trial/settlement. This is why it is imperative that you hire a law firm with strong convictions, ethics, and a commitment towards an "end goal", no matter how long it takes.

Our lawyers and staff possess essential skills required to practice civil defense litigation, such as:

• Knowledge of substantive and procedural law
• Ability to synthesize complex legal and factual materials
• Knowledge of legal research techniques and software
