Frequently Asked Questions
Most people have no idea what to expect when they become involved in litigation. Below are answers to a couple of common questions about general litigation that we often hear from our clients.
What types of cases are considered general litigation?
General litigation encompasses nearly any noncriminal legal dispute between individuals or organizations. This includes contract breaches, property disputes, personal injury litigation, employment disagreements and challenges to wills or trusts. Essentially, any matter that requires a court to resolve a civil conflict falls under this umbrella.
How long does a general litigation case usually take?
The timeline depends heavily on the complexity of the issues and the court’s calendar. A straightforward dispute may be resolved in several months through settlement, while complex cases involving extensive discovery or a full trial can take a year or more. We prioritize efficient strategies to resolve your case as swiftly as possible without compromising your goals.
