Criminal and civil law have the same fundamental process; parties present their argument to a judge in their state or federal court. Then the judge analyzes the evidence presented to the court, and the judge issues a decision based on that evidence. The distinction between the two is that civil cases involve disputes between private parties or businesses.
Civil litigation refers to the non-criminal legal process in which one or more parties sues another in court. The parties may be individuals, businesses or the government. In this type of case, the plaintiff(s) seeks compensation or other damages from the defendant(s), usually through monetary damages or awards.
In some cases, individuals can handle issues like a simple divorce or an estate settlement without involving a civil litigation attorney. In other situations where the stakes are high, a lawyer is necessary to ensure your interests are protected.
In commercial litigation matters, Florida law requires business plaintiffs and defendants to be represented in court by an attorney in all cases except for small claims court. Small claims matters consist of claims seeking less than $8,000 in damages.
Civil litigation disputes are usually highly complex, requiring legal input through every phase, from negotiations to trial and possibly an appeal. A civil litigation lawyer can help you navigate the complex terrain.
Are you involved in a dispute that has been filed in Florida federal court? If so, it is crucial that you have an experienced litigator in your corner from the start. The rules and processes used in federal court are vastly different from those used in courts at the state level. Inexperienced lawyers are frequently caught by surprise by the federal court’s exceptionally high expectations for the attorney’s written submissions. Furthermore, federal courts have a much greater expectation of members of the federal bar in that they will act with an exemplary level of professionalism toward one another.
Choosing the right federal civil litigator can go a long way toward ensuring a favorable outcome.
