CIVIL LITIGATION
OVERVIEW
It is not uncommon for businesses and individuals to find themselves involved in a legal dispute. These disputes, such as a breach of contract, typically fall under what is known as civil litigation which requires the need for courts or arbitrators to resolve. For plaintiffs involved in a civil litigation matter, you are usually the party that has been injured, either physically or financially. Defendants in a civil litigation matter are often the party the plaintiff believes is responsible for those injuries. The legal strategy involved varies greatly depending on which party is being represented. Plaintiffs desire to be “made whole.” However, defendants will want to aggressively protect and preserve their rights in the ensuing litigation.
