Litigation
Litigation is often pursued to recover damages, such as those related to a breach of contract or personal injury, or to compel someone to take or refrain from specific actions. Before resorting to litigation, individuals and businesses often try other ways to resolve disputes. However, sometimes the other party only responds once a lawsuit is filed. Whether considering or starting a lawsuit, the process can be daunting.

Pre-Litigation Advice: Litigation can be costly and time-consuming, and is not always the best course of action for every client. We take the time to understand your needs and ensure you are fully aware of the litigation process.
