Frequently Asked Questions
Civil litigation covers non-criminal disputes resolved through the
court system — contract disagreements, property disputes,
business conflicts, and similar matters where money or specific
performance, not criminal penalties, is at stake.
Many civil disputes settle through negotiation before ever
reaching trial, but having an attorney who's prepared to litigate
if needed changes your leverage in that negotiation. Which path
makes sense depends on the specifics of your dispute.
Contract disputes, property disputes, business disputes, and small
claims and general civil matters — backed by courtroom experience
across a genuinely broad range of cases, not a single narrow
specialty.
Don't ignore it — Michigan gives you a limited window to respond, and
missing it can mean a default judgment against you. Bring the papers
to a consultation promptly so a response can be filed on time and a
strategy set from the start.
It varies widely — some matters resolve in months through negotiation
or motion practice, while a case that goes all the way to trial can
take a year or more. You'll get a realistic read on your likely
timeline, not a sales pitch, at the consultation.
It depends on the complexity of the dispute and how far it goes. What
you can count on: fees discussed plainly upfront, and honest advice
about whether what's at stake justifies the cost of fighting for it.
