Civil Litigation: Brief Overview
Civil litigation is a legal process that resolves disputes between two parties (individuals or organizations) who seek monetary compensation for damages incurred or specific performances that were undelivered.
This can include contract disputes, personal injury cases, property disputes, and other types of disputes.
The goal of civil litigation is to provide a fair and just resolution to the dispute, taking into account the rights and interests of all parties involved. It can be resolved through the court system or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration.
As an experienced civil litigation attorney, I understand the complexities of the legal system and work tirelessly to help clients achieve the best possible outcome in their case.
Types of Civil Litigation Cases
There are many different types of civil litigation cases that individuals and organizations can face. Some of the most common cases are:
- Contract disputes – occur when one or both parties involved in a contract feel that the terms of the agreement have not been fulfilled.
- Personal injury cases – arise when an individual is injured as a result of someone else’s negligence or intentional actions.
- Property disputes – arise between individuals or organizations over issues such as boundary disputes, easement disputes, and zoning disputes.

The civil litigation process can be complex and time-consuming, but having a knowledgeable civil litigation attorney by your side can make all the difference.

Initial Considerations
Litigation can be a risky endeavor for both families and businesses. In some cases it can take years to come to a resolution and this can be emotionally, physically, and financially draining.
For these reasons, I generally recommend taking preemptive measures prior to filing an original petition (Texas) or a complaint (Missouri). An original petition or a complaint initiates a lawsuit.
Preemptive Measures
Have you ever heard the saying, “what starts well, ends well?” This is generally true when it comes to keeping your family and business out of court and out of controversy as long as you are covering all of your bases in between. Here are the preemptive measures I propose initially to stay out of court and out of controversy.
- Estate Planning: Develop a well thought out and comprehensive estate plan. Take your time to truly ensure your affairs are in order and meet with me on a regular basis to update your plan.
- Business Law: Develop a well-thought-out and comprehensive business plan. Take time to truly ensure that you have selected the correct entity, are within compliance, are taking advantage of tax benefits, and are prepared in the event you are sued.
