CIVIL LITIGATION, TRIAL & APPELLATE PRACTICE

Civil Law is a litigation process that resolves a disagreement between two or more people, where people could be individuals, a business or even government agencies. Typically, people in a dispute attempt to resolve the disagreement between themselves before resorting to legal action. After attorneys are involved, there are often discussions in an attempt to settle the dispute as well. However, in many cases, a court case must be started. The case can still be settled outside a courtroom before trial, but if it can't, a judge or jury will decide the dispute. If damages are awarded, the goal is to make the party that was hurt, "whole" for the damages they suffered as a result of the other party's actions. There is no criminal sentence associated with a civil matter.

Civil litigation can be complex. Our focus begins with a thorough factual investigation. We supplement our investigation with extensive research of the legal, medical, engineering, scientific and financial issues, as relevant to the particular case. Our goal is to make complicated facts, legal principles, medical conditions, scientific information and financial data easy to understand for a judge and/or jury so that they can easily see why you deserve an acceptable award or why you are not responsible for the damages.

An appeal is a process, whereby a higher court is asked to review an action or decision of a lower court, an official government agency or other body that has judicial/binding power. Normally an appeal is sought by the party that lost in the lower court, but in some cases, either party may wish to appeal the decision if they are dissatisfied with the final judgment.
