Civil Litigation

General Civil Litigation Advice

Civil litigation is when you need to enforce a contract, collect a debt, negotiate a business or transaction dispute, or collect damages for a harm you suffered – or reply to any of the above. A lawyer will be able to advise you about whether you have a claim and if the claim clan be collected on. Having a lawyer in civil litigation will also let you know what the reasonable outcomes are for your case, and what options are available for getting the best result. A lawyer can guide you from initial demand letters, replies to demands letters, and through the entire civil litigation process.

Unfortunately, our firm does not practice in the areas of medical malpractice, complaints against peace officers, complaints while incarcerated, or personal injury. However, we are happy to take your call and consult on most other civil litigation issues.

Alternate Dispute Resolution

Not all civil litigation matters need to go to trial or other Court hearings. Often, they can be settled with negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. In many cases, these options are advisable because they prevent the client suffering from undue stress, legal fees, court costs, and time. However, not all matters can be settled, and some matters require litigation before a settlement is reached. Having a lawyer will let you know what the options are at each stage.

Employment Law

Employment civil litigation is when your employer or employee are in a dispute over the employment contract. Common issues include wrongful dismissal, human rights complaints, drafting good office policies, drafting employment contracts, drug testing, and more. Having a lawyer will help you navigate how to navigate these issues.

Debt Collection & Liens

Having a lawyer assist with debt collection will help you know if your claim is enforceable, and if you are able to collect. In many debt cases, the matter can be solved with negotiation, or by obtaining and enforcing a Judgment of Debt. In same cases, such as builders’ liens, Public Works Act claims, and garage keeper’s liens, there is a faster way to protect your payment for your work – however, there are very strict and short deadlines for liens that a lawyer can help you meet.

Contract Disputes

Ideally, a good contract will be easy for every party to read and understand. However, not all contracts are perfectly clear, and not all contracts can predict everything that might happen in the future. Sometimes people do not follow the terms of their contracts, even if the contract is well drafted. Having a lawyer will help you know what the terms of your contract meant, whether there are unclear terms, if you can enforce the terms, and help negotiation or litigate a resolution.
