Some say when all else fails, litigate. Before you decide litigation is right for you, consult Bob so that you can discuss whether alternatives to litigation should be tried before or during litigation.
If you decide to go through with litigation, there are a few things you should know:
- Litigation is an adversarial process, meaning it pits two parties against each other.
- Litigation involves filing a complaint, serving the defendant, answering questions in writing, producing documents, and giving testimony under oath.
- Litigation typically involves motions, in which a judge or court officer decides disputes between the attorneys or disputing parties.
If the parties can't settle, then a judge decides the matter by motions or trial.
