FAQs For Our Civil Litigation Attorneys

What Does A Civil Litigation Attorney Do?
A civil litigation attorney is a legal professional who specializes in handling civil cases, including disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations, that are not criminal in nature. Our primary responsibility is to represent our clients in court or negotiations and provide legal advice and guidance throughout the litigation process. We work to resolve legal disputes through negotiation, mediation, or trial, and may be involved in a wide range of issues, such as breach of contract, personal injury claims, property disputes, employment disputes, and more.
2. How Do I Know If I Need A Civil Attorney?
If you are involved in a legal dispute such as a breach of contract, personal injury claim, property dispute, or employment dispute, you may need a civil attorney. Additionally, if you are considering filing a lawsuit or have been served with a lawsuit, it is important to seek legal counsel. A civil attorney, such as ourselves, can provide guidance and representation throughout the litigation process, including negotiating settlements, filing and responding to legal documents, and representing you in court. It is important to consult with a civil attorney early on in the process to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
3. How Long Should I Expect My Lawsuit To Take?
The length of a lawsuit can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the case, the amount of evidence that needs to be gathered and reviewed, the number of parties involved, and the court's schedule. Generally, civil lawsuits can take anywhere from several months to several years to reach a resolution, with more complex cases taking longer. It is important to note that each case is unique and the timeline can be difficult to predict.
4. How Long Do I Have To File My Civil Litigation Claim?
In the state of Alabama, the statute of limitations for civil litigation claims can vary depending on the type of claim being filed. For example, personal injury claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations, while breach of contract claims have a six-year statute of limitations. Your civil attorney can advise you on the applicable statute of limitations and help you take the necessary steps to file your claim in a timely manner.
5. What Is Mediation in a Civil Suit?
Mediation in a civil suit is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps the parties involved in a legal dispute to reach a resolution outside of court. The mediator does not have the power to make a decision or force a resolution, but instead facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties to help them find common ground and reach an agreement.
