Civil disputes are disagreements between two or more parties in various situations. Civil disputes include contract disputes, probate, fraud, and more. Unlike criminal law, the result of a civil dispute usually is not jail time; but instead, an award of damages by the court to the prevailing party. It is common that the parties attempt to negotiate their disputes before deciding to proceed with civil litigation.

Before filing a civil suit, it is best to contact a civil litigation attorney. Attorneys use their legal knowledge and experience to review your case and determine the strength of your position. An attorney may recommend a specific course of action, including options outside of litigation, in order to better achieve your goal. If a civil suit is filed, an attorney can guide you through the procedures required by court rules in civil litigation.
