A general overview of how civil litigation proceeds in New York State courts, from initial dispute through resolution.
We review the facts, applicable law, and evidence to assess the strength of your claims or defenses and advise on the best litigation strategy.
Many disputes resolve before filing suit. We send demand letters and engage in pre-litigation negotiations to seek early resolution when appropriate.
We file the complaint (or answer) with the appropriate court — Civil Court, Supreme Court, or federal court depending on the nature and amount in dispute.
Both sides exchange documents, answer written questions, and conduct depositions. Thorough discovery is essential to building a strong case.
We file motions to dismiss weak claims, motions for summary judgment where facts are undisputed, and other pre-trial motions that sharpen your position.
Most civil cases settle before trial. We negotiate from a position of strength — backed by thorough preparation — to achieve the best possible outcome.
If settlement is not reached, we present your case with skill and preparation. Post-trial motions and enforcement of judgments are handled as needed.
Whether you are a plaintiff seeking justice or a defendant protecting your rights, we are ready to fight for you. Contact us for a confidential case evaluation.
