Civil litigation is the method of resolving disputes or claims between individuals, companies, local authorities and government departments through the courts. It can be extremely stressful to undergo and you will need the assurance of personal attention to your case and a down to earth lawyer you can talk to. We ensure you have personal attention at all times and where ever possible we will allow you to assist in your case to keep your own costs down.

Generally civil cases tend to fall into two kinds. One is based on contract (i.e. agreement between two or more parties ) and the other is based on civil wrong caused by one party to another either deliberately or negligently such as an accident.

Contract cases cover consumer purchases to simple debts to multi million pound business agreements. Civil wrongs include cases of personal injury caused by accidents or failure to take safety measures etc, damage to a person's property, or reputation (i.e. defamation).

If you are owed money or wish to recover possession of property or take any other action against another party we can offer you advise on the steps necessary to take legal action and the merits of your case. Sometimes an initial letter threatening court action may be enough to prompt payment or action by the other party.
