BHG Law specializes in a wide range of civil litigation, expertly handling disputes in areas like contracts, property, and employment. Our skilled attorneys are dedicated to fiercely defending your rights and interests, aiming for the best possible outcomes in every case.

Civil litigation arises when parties enter a legal dispute over contracts, money, or performance, rather than criminal issues, often leading to courtroom battles. Navigating this process demands an experienced attorney who can adeptly manage various stages, from pretrial hearings to depositions, and represent clients in arbitrations or mediations before courts or administrative agencies.

Our Areas of Expertise:

• Anti-trust litigation

• Construction liability lawsuits

• Divorce lawsuits

• Educations law disputes

• Employment and labor disputes

• Environmental law

• Landlord/tenant disputes

• Workers’ compensation claims

Civil litigation involves several stages, starting from investigation and moving through pleadings, discovery, pretrial proceedings, and potentially to settlement, trial, or appeal. The discovery phase, often the most labor-intensive, involves exchanging information relevant to the case through depositions (oral questions under oath), interrogatories (written questions), and subpoenas.

It's important to note that not all lawsuits progress through every stage; most are settled outside the courtroom. Settlements can occur at any point, even during a trial or after a jury's verdict. However, if a case does proceed to trial, the entire process from the initial filing to resolution can span from a few months to several years, depending on the case's complexity.
