Common Questions

Civil Litigation FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from clients facing civil litigation matters in Brooklyn and across NYC.

Civil litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals, businesses or organizations through the court system, covering matters such as business law, property disputes, municipal claims and tort claims — as opposed to criminal cases.
Timelines vary widely depending on complexity, court backlog and whether the case settles before trial. Straightforward disputes may resolve in months through negotiation or mediation, while contested litigation that goes to trial can take a year or more.
While not always legally required, having an experienced civil litigation attorney significantly improves your chances of a favorable outcome, especially for disputes involving contracts, businesses or significant financial stakes.
