Stages in the Civil Litigation Process
A typical civil litigation case involves several phases:
Filing a Claim: The journey begins when a claim is filed with the court.
Discovery Phase: This stage involves the exchange of relevant documents and information between parties. This is often the longest and most labor-intensive phase.
Pre-Trial Proceedings: Both sides prepare their cases, including gathering evidence and strategizing. Our litigators advise clients, retain expert witnesses, and develop strategies for the upcoming proceedings.
Settlement: Most civil litigation cases are settled out of court. Our attorneys work diligently to negotiate favorable settlements for our clients.
Trial: If a settlement isn't reached, the case goes to trial where both sides present evidence and examine witnesses. We make compelling arguments to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
