What is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation covers legal disputes between individuals, businesses, or other entities that seek monetary damages, injunctive relief, or other non-criminal legal remedies. Unlike criminal cases, which involve prosecution by the government, civil litigation focuses on resolving private disputes through the court system, arbitration, or settlement negotiations.

At Ainsworth  Gorkin PLLC, we provide skilled representation at every stage of the litigation process, from pre-litigation counseling and settlement negotiations to trial and appellate advocacy.
