Grand Rapids Civil Litigation Attorney
Civil litigation cases are non-criminal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations. Unlike criminal cases, civil suits do not involve jail time or criminal penalties. Instead, they seek compensation, enforcement of agreements, or other forms of relief. Common examples include breach of contract, unpaid services, or disputes over business transactions.
