FAQ
Common questions
It's the legal process for resolving non-criminal disputes between people or organisations, through the court.
It varies widely. Many disputes resolve in a few months through negotiation; contested court matters can take a year or more.
Most civil disputes are resolved before trial or without a full hearing. When you retain legal representation, personal attendance is generally not required for pre-trial procedural steps such as motions, unless the judge or applicable rules require it. Attending when your schedule permits is still advisable.
It depends on complexity. We'll give you a clear estimate and discuss fee options at your consultation.
Contracts, emails, letters, other communications or documents related to the dispute.
Yes. Negotiated settlement is often our first strategy. It's usually faster and less costly than trial.
