Unfortunately, there may come a time when you find yourself involved in a civil dispute. Whether you are seeking compensation after an automobile accident or seeking to file a divorce, civil disputes can quickly escalate without the proper legal guidance. While every attempt is made to resolve legal disputes through negotiation, mediation and arbitration, there may come a time when it is necessary to go to court. When this occurs, you will need a qualified and experienced Colorado civil litigation attorney to handle your case and protect your rights.

Unlike criminal prosecution, civil litigation lawsuits usually involves a dispute between individuals or businesses who are looking to recover damages, protect their rights or receive compensation. In a civil trial, anyone can bring a lawsuit against anyone in order to enforce or protect their legal rights. If you find yourself involved in a civil dispute, it is important to contact an attorney with litigation experience, in the event your case goes to court.

Phases of Civil Litigation:

In general there are seven phases of civil litigation:

  • Investigation phase
  • Pleadings
  • Discovery Phase
  • Pre-trial Phase
  • Trial Phase
  • Settlements
  • Appeals

A lawsuit can take months and even years to reach the settlement phase, and complex lawsuits can take even longer. The majority of lawsuits are never brought to trial; however, and those that do reach trial are usually not appealed.
