CIVIL LITIGATION
Civil litigation is the court process where parties resolve private disputes in which one person claims that another has caused some type of harm. In general, the goal in civil litigation is to compensate the party that was harmed, typically in the form of monetary compensation or by requiring a person to take or refrain from some specific action.
Successful litigation requires that we not only consider the facts and the applicable law but that we also make effective use of the available pre-trial steps in the process and alternative forms of dispute resolution when such mechanisms are appropriate.
