CIVIL LITIGATION

People and businesses sue each other for a tremendous variety of reasons. Some examples come immediately to mind: someone hurt in a car crash suing the other driver; a plumber suing a customer for not paying the bill; a dispute between neighbors over the property line. Lawsuits are never fun. However, sometimes they are necessary. Please note that what is being discussed here does not include criminal cases, divorce or paternity cases, and modifications thereof, and certain specialized areas of the law, such as worker’s compensation or intellectual property cases.
