Litigation

When a dispute arises, it may be necessary to take your claim to court to get compensation or a fair resolution. Litigation is the process of taking a case through the court system, and if necessary, through trial and appeals. A civil court claim in California can take years to come to trial but most cases end up settled before they get to trial. An aggressive litigator can save you time and money through preparation and experience to get a settlement in your favor.

LITIGATION

Litigation is used to settle disputes and conflicts through the civil court system. Litigation can involve just about any area of dispute between two or more parties, including:

  • Contract disputes
  • Business litigation
  • Landlord/Tenant litigation
  • Real estate litigation
  • Construction litigation
  • Employment litigation
  • Insurance defense
  • Mechanic’s liens
  • Property disputes
  • Water and mineral rights disputes
  • Creditors’ rights and bankruptcy

BUSINESS LITIGATION

When disputes arise that are not already provided for in contracts, agreements, or through negotiations, a business owner may have to resort to litigation to settle the issue. Litigation involves filing or responding to a civil complaint in court. Litigation in business may involve enforcing a contract, filing for damages, defending against employee discrimination claims, or any other dispute. Litigation in business cases may involve disputes between a business owner and:

  • Suppliers or distributors
  • Clients
  • Another business
  • City or county agency
  • Insurance company
  • Employees and independent contractors


An experienced and aggressive business litigator can save your business time and money and get the claim settled or seek a judgment in your favor.
