The Civil Litigation Process

Many civil law disputes will ultimately not go to trial, but you will need a team that is prepared to litigate in court. While every case is unique, any challenge requiring legal action will move through several procedural steps before reaching a courtroom.

Our team can serve as your advocate in each of the following steps:

• Initial investigation. When you first meet with our team, we will thoroughly review every facet of your case, including the available facts and evidence. We will determine whether you have a case and, if so, begin the process of preparing for the possibility of a trial.
• Pleadings. Both sides of the dispute will file formal documents with the appropriate court that outline their position. The claimant and the defendant will each have the opportunity to respond to the plea of the opposing party. Depending on the situation, it may be possible for a claimant to convince a defendant that they have an irrefutably strong case, prompting them to consider a settlement and avoiding a protracted trial.
• Discovery. Should the case proceed, the legal teams of both the claimant and defendant will have a set period of time to gather additional evidence, interview witnesses (including experts that can provide testimony during the trial), and conduct research. We will use these resources to build a robust case.
• Pre-Trial. This step functions as the last chance to avoid litigating the dispute in court. Legal teams from all parties will leverage evidence collected during the discovery phase to try and negotiate a settlement.
• Trial. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will go to trial. Depending on the nature of the conflict, a jury may be involved. Legal teams for both sides will present their arguments, hear testimony, and question witnesses. The judge (and potentially a jury) will then hand down a verdict that determines the outcome of the case.

Our team is intimately familiar with every stage of the civil litigation process. We are also experienced in negotiating settlements and can advise whether accepting a deal may be the most advantageous course of action in your case.
