Civil Disputes: Let Us Help You Navigate The Court System
Civil litigation encompasses a broad range of disputes. Proving fault or negligence and demonstrating the extent of damages or injury can be a challenge. Effective legal counseling affords clients the opportunity to make more informed decisions on whether to litigate or settle disputes; and, if litigated, how to properly prepare the case for trial. But more importantly, the attorneys at the Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., can help you to avoid costly litigation in the future with proper planning now.
How Representation Works
The attorneys at the Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., begin with realistic counseling of clients prior to the institution of and throughout the litigation process. This process begins with an investigation and evaluation of a client’s claims or defenses, and an analysis of our client’s rights, duties and obligations.
Once it is determined that civil litigation would be appropriate, the process proceeds with conducting the discovery required to properly prepare or defend the case, filing and/or responding to the complaint, and negotiating a settlement or taking the case to court. Sometimes litigation is expensive and is not in our clients’ best interests; we will advise you of that as well.
