What It Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation is an area of law that deals with situations where one person or business causes damage to another person or business. Basically,
when someone beaches a contract, physically hurts someone, damages someones property or reputation, takes something from someone that they lacked permission to, etc. Our Edmonton litigation lawyers help you sue the person who hurt you or, if you face a lawsuit, defend your position. It is always better for your lawyer to know the whole story to best act for you. Solicitor and client privilege protects what you say to your lawyer.Much of the work occurs before court. Many situations resolve with a demand letter (we offer them at a flat rate fee), or cease and desist letter (also at a flat rate fee). Next, we initiate a negotiation to resolve the matter. Lastly, if unsuccessful, the matter moves to litigation. While jumping to litigation remains an option, the first two steps usually save clients time and money.
Litigation Vs. Smart Choices
Our Edmonton litigation lawyers never fight just for the sake of fighting. We prefer a smart strategic approach. While we always respect client choices, we believe it necessary to give our clients a clear, thought out understanding of their legal position right from our first consultation. Where appropriate, we tell clients if a matter makes financial sense to pursue or not. With that information, the move forward with a legal claim, a settlement out of court, or walk away without incurring further expenses.
