FAQ
What should I expect during a civil litigation case?
Civil litigation generally involves several key phases: pre-litigation negotiation, filing a complaint, discovery (exchanging information), motions (requests for court orders), trial preparation, and possibly an appeal. Our attorneys will guide you through each stage, ensuring you understand your options and potential outcomes.
How Long Does a Civil Lawsuit Take?
The timeline for a civil lawsuit depends on the case’s complexity, the court’s schedule, and whether the case is settled before trial. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to several years, especially if the case involves extensive discovery, motions, or appeals.
Can I Settle a Civil Case Without Going to Trial?
Yes, many civil cases are resolved without going to trial. Settlement negotiations, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods can help parties reach an agreement outside of court. Settling often saves time, money, and the uncertainty of a trial.
What Is Mediation, and How Does It Work in Civil Litigation?
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) where a neutral third-party mediator helps the parties involved in the dispute reach a settlement. The mediator does not make a decision but facilitates communication between the parties to find a mutually agreeable solution. Mediation is often quicker and less costly than going to trial.
