Litigation

Relationships, whether between individuals or entities, can be complicated and sometimes events or situations arise that cause the relationship to break down.  Often, it is in the midst of this “break down” that a party finds themselves in need of a civil litigator. Maybe you have suffered a legal injury or harm because someone did not hold up their end of a bargain.  Maybe you own a business and someone has interfered in your ability to run your business or is unfairly competing with you.
