General Civil Litigation
Disputes happen—but when they escalate, you need an advocate who can protect your interests and guide you through the legal process with confidence.
We represent individuals and businesses in a wide range of civil litigation matters throughout Florida. Whether you’re facing a contract dispute, seeking damages, or defending yourself against a claim, we provide clear guidance, strategic planning, and strong representation at every stage.
What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation involves legal disputes between private parties—individuals, companies, or organizations—where one party seeks compensation, performance, or another legal remedy rather than criminal penalties.
Common types of civil litigation include:
- Contract disputes (breach of contract, business agreements, service contracts)
- Real estate litigation (property disputes, landlord-tenant, boundary issues)
- Business and partnership disputes
- Collections and unpaid debt claims
- Consumer protection violations
- Negligence claims
- Fraud or misrepresentation
- Injunctions and restraining orders
- Tort claims (non-injury)
- Defamation (libel or slander)
If you’re not sure whether your matter qualifies as a civil case—just ask. We’ll help you determine the right course of action.

FAQ
What should I do if I’ve been served with a lawsuit?
Don’t ignore it. You typically have 20 days to respond in Florida civil court. We can help you understand your options and respond properly to protect your rights.
Can we resolve my case without going to trial?
Often, yes. Many civil disputes are resolved through mediation, arbitration, or negotiated settlement. We pursue every opportunity to resolve your case efficiently while preparing for trial if necessary.
How long will my civil case take?
It depends on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. Some matters resolve in weeks; others take months or longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your case.
How much does it cost to file or defend a lawsuit?
Costs vary depending on the nature of the dispute, court filing fees, expert witnesses, and other factors. We offer transparent fee structures and can sometimes work with flat fees or retainers.
Can I collect attorney’s fees if I win?
Possibly. Florida law and many contracts allow the prevailing party to recover attorney’s fees. We’ll help you evaluate whether this applies to your case.
