| Trial & LiTIGATIOn |
If you are involved in a lawsuit or any kind of litigation, or may be in the near future, please read the following.
If you have been sued, you are a defendant, and will have to respond to a Complaint. This normally involves filing an Answer, but if circumstances permit then a Motion to Dismiss can be filed.
Your understand that your goal is to end the litigation as soon as possible. This can be done in several ways. The Motion to Dismiss, mentioned above, is sometimes effective when the Complaint cannot support that action, or when the parties should not be before a particular court.
It is also often possible to file a Motion for Summary Judgment. This is normally done when some facts or admissions can be introduced which overcome the Complaint.
If the Complaint is not dismissed, then the Discovery stage takes place. The Plaintiff and Defendant make requests of each other for documents and other evidence, and for testimony of witnesses. This process extends for a period of months, according to a timetable set by the Court.
Motions of various kinds can be made during this process, including Motions to Compel and also Motions for Protective Order. We believe such motions, when done properly, can advance the needs of a party and can protect a party when necessary. It is also possible to obtain secrecy orders to protect confidential information. We have extensive experience with all these types of matters.
