Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is the judicial process for resolving disputes between people or businesses — different from a crime, which only the state can prosecute. Maybe someone's encroached on your side of a property line, and you need the court to set the boundary. Or maybe you've fulfilled your end of a contract, and the other party won't pay. These are all civil disputes, and we help people work through them.
Our Approach
We usually start with a letter to the offending party on our official letterhead, demanding compliance and making clear you're prepared to resolve this through the courts if necessary. We start there because filing suit is expensive — hearings, discovery, and depositions all require careful, often costly attention. Our approach is systematic and deliberate, aimed at resolving your dispute effectively while keeping the cost and stress to you as low as possible.
What This Covers

Property & boundary disputes — resolving disagreements over property lines and encroachment
Contract disputes — pursuing payment or compliance when the other party won't hold up their end
General civil disputes — if your situation doesn't fit neatly above, we likely still handle it — ask us
