General Civil Litigation & Appellate Law

Trials in a court of law are governed by various rules of civil procedure and evidence, with the judge playing the role of referee.  Also, you should know that not every lawyer has experience in the courtroom.  It is important that your lawyer be accustomed to local court practice and regularly appear before local Judges.  When you need to litigate a dispute in the courtroom, you need someone with experience and knowledge of the local, state, and federal litigation rules.  The typical trial involves what can be an extensive but important process of acquiring evidence through the discovery process, which involves answering written questions and taking oral testimony called depositions, issuing subpoenas, reviewing records, filing motions, and ultimately trying your case before a Judge and/or jury.
