Common Civil Disputes I Handle

What Is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation refers to legal disputes between two or more parties—individuals, businesses, or organizations—that aren’t criminal in nature. These cases often involve:



• Contract disagreements or broken agreements
• Real estate and property conflicts
• Business-related issues
• Personal injury matters
• Problems between homeowners and contractors
• Disputes between neighbors, tenants, or landlords

Whether you're bringing a claim or defending against one, I’ll help you understand your rights, build a strong case, and pursue a resolution that makes sense for your situation.

Making Informed Decisions

Going to court can be expensive and emotionally draining—but sometimes it's necessary. My job is to help you decide whether litigation is the right path or if a different approach might save you time, stress, and money.

Before filing anything, I’ll help you evaluate:

• The potential cost vs. benefit of pursuing a claim
• Whether negotiation, mediation, or settlement might be better
• What your options are and what you can expect at each stage

Every case is different. That’s why I give every client my full attention and help you weigh your choices before taking action.
