The Civil Litigation Process
Civil litigation begins with an initial investigation to look for information and evidence that supports your case. This includes collecting records and documents, informal interviews with witnesses or involved parties and physical evidence when necessary. When the investigation is complete, both you and the other party involved in the civil lawsuit file a pleading with the court, outlining your side of the dispute.
At this point, the litigation moves on to discovery and pretrial. Each side of the litigation shares evidence and witness lists and enters into negotiations. Settlements are often reached at this stage, but if the sides can’t come to an agreement, the litigation moves on to trial and eventually a settlement is made. At this point the process ends unless one of the sides appeals the decision.
Potential monetary gains tend to be minimized as trials go on; attorney fees and other expenses related to spending time in court continue to build. Our goal is always to reach an agreement at pretrial.
