Understanding Civil Litigation: What You Need to Know
Civil litigation is when two or more parties dispute over non-criminal issues. These issues often concern contracts, liability claims, and property disagreements. Civil litigation plays a crucial role in our legal system, allowing individuals and businesses to enforce their rights and hold others accountable for wrongdoing.
Is Court Always Necessary for Settling Cases?
According to the American Bar Association, few civil cases go to trial. Instead, parties often reach agreements outside of court through negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolutions. This is something we have seen—and aim to achieve—at Legist Law.
Generally, we work to fairly settle cases without going to trial, saving our clients time and money in the process. However, we are more than capable of trying cases in court when necessary. Our goal is to protect our clients’ rights and interests; we will do whatever it takes to achieve just that.

How to File a Civil Lawsuit
Filing a civil lawsuit can be a very complex and daunting process, but with the guidance of experienced legal counsel, you can confidently navigate the procedural requirements. If you believe you have a legal claim against another party, the following steps will help you initiate a civil lawsuit:
- Consultation with an Attorney: The first phase in filing a civil lawsuit is to schedule a consultation with our qualified attorney, who can assess the merits of your case and advise you on the best course of action.
- Legal Research: We can conduct thorough legal research to determine the applicable laws and statutes relevant to your case and develop a strategic plan for pursuing your claim.
- Drafting the Complaint: The next phase is to draft a formal complaint outlining the factual allegations of your case, the legal theories supporting your claim, and the relief you are seeking from the court.
- Filing the Complaint: Once the complaint is prepared, it must be filed with the appropriate court and served on the defendant according to the rules of civil procedure.
- Response from the Defendant: After being served with the complaint, the defendant has a specified period of time to respond by filing an answer or other responsive pleading, admitting or denying the allegations, and asserting any affirmative defenses.
- Discovery Phase: Both parties engage in the discovery process to exchange information, documents, and other evidence relevant to the case, including depositions, interrogatories, and requests for production of documents.
- Pre-trial Negotiation: Throughout the litigation process, we will explore opportunities for settlement through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods to bypass the time and expense of a trial.
- Trial: If the case proceeds to trial, we will represent you in court, presenting all evidence, examining all witnesses, and arguing on your behalf to convince the judge or jury to rule in your favor.
- Post-trial Proceedings: After a verdict is reached, either party may file post-trial motions or appeals to challenge the outcome or seek further relief from the court.
