Civil Litigation and Personal Inury
Civil litigation provides clients a method to decide disputes involving torts, contractual disputes, and other matters which are not criminal in nature. Civil litigation usual attempts to right some type of wrong; whether it is getting someone to honor an agreement, compensation a victim for damages suffered, compel someone to do something or prevent someone from doing something.
While appearing glamorous on television, where civil matters run from incident to trial in 30 minutes, in real life civil litigation in King County is tedious and time consuming. Often it can take 18 months from filing before a trial is held.
From filing of a complaint to discovery and depositions to hearings, mediation, and trial, civil matters are often resolved by the parties. Mandatory mediation is required in King County for most cases in an effort to resolve the matter. Within King County, 90% of the cases are resolved before trial. But, having someone with you that is willing to take all the steps necessary to bring your case to a conclusion is imperative.
