Civil Defense

We live in a litigious country, and sometimes following a dispute, one of the parties decides to file a claim against the other.  Other times, and individual or business learns that a claim against it was initiated and underway before there has been time to ascertain what the claim is for.  It is useful in these, and other situations, to retain the services of an attorney who can assess the situation in the case and advise in the options for defending a civil claim. 

Sometimes the best option is settlement out of court, sometimes it is a vigorous defense, and sometimes it may be alternative dispute resolution.  The course of action to follow depends on various considerations such as the amount claimed, the anticipated cost of litigation, and the history between the parties.  Being sued can be very stressful, and it is important to have an attorney who can objectively assess the case and advise you about your options at every step.
