We are proud of our results reported above, but please note that prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each matter depends on the facts of the case.
Civil cases are court matters that involve conflicts between two people, that usually involves money. The person who complains about being hurt files a petition in Texas state court, or a complaint in federal court. That plaintiff usually asks for money or an injunction. An injunction seeks a court order to prevent someone from performing something that money wouldn’t solve. Civil trial law is our bread and butter. We handle all types of litigation including Business Law, Commercial Law, Consumer Law, Elder Law, Estate Planning – Probate Law, Family Law, General Law, Guardianship Law, Personal Injury Law, and Real Estate Law. The cases that we handle usually involve one of the following.
During this stage, a dispute arises, and the parties usually try to negotiate a resolution.
During the discovery stage, both sides exchange documents, witnesses, and other information. This is where we learn about the strengths and weaknesses of our positions.
Here, the lawyers get their evidence and witnesses together, and they often file motions with the court to resolve the case or limit the issues for trial.
During this stage, the case is heard by the judge or a jury; witnesses are examined, the evidence is presented, and the case is eventually decided, and a judgment entered.
Parties might appeal the trial judgment, or the winning party might try to collect the judgment that was entered.
