Civil litigation involved disputes of non-criminal matters such as claims for damages to your business or reputation, claims of personal injury, trust & estate claims, professional liability cases, employment matters, real estate disputes, family disputes, and a variety of other kinds of cases. Generally, harm in the form of damages will be at issue, but parties to a dispute can ask for other forms of relief such as an injunction to require or prevent the other side from doing some act.

Because your legal rights are at stake whether you have a claim or have had a claim asserted against you, it is extremely important to talk to an attorney who can advise you of your rights and devise a legal strategy to advance those rights inside and outside of court.
