This involves filing or responding to a complaint, where each party outlines their claims and defenses.

3. Discovery

Both sides exchange information, gather evidence, and depose witnesses to build their cases.

4. Pre-Trial Motions

We may file motions to dismiss the case, limit certain evidence, or seek summary judgment if the facts are clear.

If the case proceeds to trial, we present your case before a judge or jury, advocating vigorously on your behalf.

If the outcome is unfavorable, we can evaluate grounds for an appeal and continue to fight for your rights.
