Civil Litigation, Product Liability & Professional Malpractice

Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is our largest practice area by far. Its main advantage over criminal practice is the possibility of real relief — civil cases aren't about punishing or reforming a wrongdoer, but about resolving the dispute itself.

We represent parties in trials, hearings, arbitrations, and mediations before administrative agencies, tribunals, and state and local courts. Civil litigation is the right path for issues including:

Property title/possession matters
Personal injury matters
Compensation claims
Lost profit/damages claims
Punitive damages
IPR infringements
Custody issues
Enforcement of contracts
Declaration of rights
Replevin of personal property
Ejectment / eviction
Injunctions
Restraining orders
Rescission / reformation of contracts

Product Liability

Product liability claims can be made under:

The Consumer Protection Act
The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act
The Sale of Goods Act
Common law principles of negligence
Breach of contract

Professional Malpractice

In law, malpractice is a form of negligence in which a professional under a duty to act fails to follow generally accepted professional standards, and that breach proximately causes harm to a plaintiff. It can be committed by a professional — such as a doctor or advocate — or by their subordinates.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to professional malpractice, it's essential to involve an experienced advocate to represent your rights.
