Civil litigation is the legal process of resolving non-criminal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations through the court system. Civil cases in Illinois cover a broad range of conflicts including breach of contract, property disputes, insurance claims, employment disputes, and business torts. The litigation process involves filing a complaint, discovery (exchanging evidence), motions, potentially mediation or settlement negotiations, and trial if necessary. Most civil cases in Macon County are heard in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court.
Civil litigation occurs when two or more parties become involved in a legal dispute involving money or the request of specific performance.
Litigation lawyers, or litigators, advocate on behalf of clients inside and outside the courtroom. The goal of such advocacy is to achieve the best possible outcome on behalf of the client. If you have a civil litigation issue, it is advisable to hire a law firm with experienced litigators.
