Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is the legal term for disputes between people or businesses involving money, property or services for money. Our firm is experienced in handling issues involving:

  • Breaches of Contract – If you are in a contract, either oral or written, and one of the parties is not meeting their end of the bargain you may need a lawyer to help you pursue what is known as an action in breach of contract. This ranges from sending letters to filing lawsuits or other legal actions.
  • Real Estate disputes – If you are involved in a real estate transaction and one of the parties is causing a delay or cancellation of a closing you may need a lawyer to help pursue money damages or specific performance. There are also any other number of potential real estate disputes we are able to handle such as a partition, eviction or other issues surrounding a real property or real property transaction.
  • Civil Theft – If someone has stolen money from you then we can help you pursue an action in civil theft. It is important these actions are pursued correctly and the statutory guidelines are filed. These actions can result in you recovering treble damages (3 times the amount stolen) and possibly having the other party pay for your attorney fees and costs.
  • Business Partnership Disputes – If you are involved in a business partnership and there is a dispute over money, control over the company or otherwise you may need a lawyer to help you handle the situation on behalf of you or potentially the shareholders of the company.
  • Other disputes involving money or services – throughout our lives we come into contact with parties from time to time and disputes arise over money, property or services rendered. If you are involved in a dispute such as one of these we can help you pursue damages
  • Defending a civil action – Sometimes in life we are faced with defending a civil action. If you have been served a summons, complaint or civil demand/notice letter contact us to review the situation and prepare a legal defense. It has been said that there is no better offense than a great defense!

We work with our clients to come up with a legal strategy to best help recover the money at issue in their dispute. Our objective is to arrive at this legal strategy in the most efficient manner, saving our clients time and money. However, if we are not able to settle your dispute, we have the knowledge and experience to take your case through the legal system towards a trial. “We don’t run from bullies.” Don’t be taken advantage of by another party in a civil action.
