What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals, businesses, or other entities where monetary damages or specific actions (such as enforcing a contract or property rights) are sought rather than criminal penalties.
Examples of civil litigation matters include:
Breach of contract
Defamation or personal harm
If you’re unsure whether your matter qualifies as a civil lawsuit, we offer consultations to evaluate your legal standing and potential remedies.
