Need Help with a Civil Lawsuit?

Speak with a civil litigation attorney in Grand Rapids, MI

Civil litigation cases are non-criminal disputes between two people or companies. A civil suit does not involve criminal charges or penalties. Civil lawsuits are often the result of a breach of contract or a dispute over nonpayment of money. An example is where a company provides goods or services to another person or company and is not paid.

The goal of civil litigation is to resolve disputes and seek compensation and other relief from the other party. Civil lawsuits typically involve the filing of a complaint, serving the defendant, and then conducting discovery until the case either settles or goes to trial. The standard of proof in a civil case is lower than in a criminal case. That lower standard makes it important to thoroughly investigate and prepare your case for optimum results. If you have recently been served with a Summons and Complaint you need to act quickly.

Typically, you only have 21 calendar days (including weekends) to file an answer with the court. If you fail to file a timely answer you will get defaulted and will likely have a default judgment entered against you. Let us help you. We are experienced in and out of the courtroom and can help you with your civil suit whether you are suing someone or being sued.
