Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a civil litigation case take?

The timeline for civil cases varies. Some settle in months, while others go to trial and take years. The complexity of your case, the court’s schedule, and the willingness to negotiate all impact the timeframe.

Can I settle my case outside of court?

Yes. Many civil cases are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration without going to trial. However, if settlement efforts fail, we are prepared to litigate aggressively on your behalf.

What damages can I recover in a civil lawsuit?

Depending on the case, you may be entitled to compensatory damages (financial losses), punitive damages (penalties for misconduct), or injunctive relief (court-ordered actions).

Do I need legal representation for civil litigation?

Yes. Civil litigation is complex, and having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of winning your case, securing a favorable settlement, or avoiding unnecessary legal risks.

What is the difference between civil and criminal litigation?

Civil cases involve disputes between private parties over financial, property, or contractual issues. Criminal cases, on the other hand, involve cases where the government prosecutes an individual for breaking the law.
