We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

About Waukesha Civil Litigation Attorney:

Navigating Civil Litigation in Waukesha: We’ve Got Your Back Every Step of the Way

Civil litigation can be overwhelming and scary when your rights, property or financial interests are on the line. Whether you’re dealing with a breach of contract, property dispute or need a restraining order, having a dedicated Waukesha civil litigation attorney by your side makes all the difference. We’ll be with you every step of the way from consultation to resolution to protect your interests.

What is Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is legal disputes between individuals, businesses or other entities where compensation or specific performance is sought rather than criminal sanctions. Not all civil cases go to trial. In fact most are resolved through negotiation or mediation where the parties agree to a resolution without a judge or jury deciding the outcome. But if a fair resolution can’t be reached our attorneys will advocate for you in court.

A Waukesha Civil Litigation Case

A Waukesha homeowner recently discovered significant defects in a property they purchased. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue directly with the seller they were met with resistance and denial of responsibility. Frustrated and unsure of what to do they turned to us for help.

Our team found the misrepresentations made during the sale and filed a breach of contract claim against the seller. Through negotiation we were able to get a settlement that covered the cost of the repairs and avoided a lengthy and expensive trial. This case shows how having the right attorney can get you a good result even outside of court.

Areas of Civil Litigation We Practice

Our Waukesha civil litigation attorneys handle:

  • Business owner/shareholder disputes: When business partners or shareholders are at odds and the business is at risk, we’ll help resolve the dispute in a way that protects your interests and the business.
  • Breach of contract claims: Whether someone has failed to perform on their contract with you or you’re being accused of breaching a contract we’ll advocate for you and get a fair result.
  • Will/trust/inheritance disputes: Disputes over a loved one’s estate can be emotionally and legally complicated. We’ll help you navigate these disputes to ensure the decedent’s wishes are honored.
  • Domestic abuse/harassment restraining orders: Your safety is our top priority. If you’re being abused or harassed, we’ll help you get a restraining order to protect you and your family.
  • Property litigation: From property boundary disputes to home sale issues, we’ll represent you in all property litigation.
  • Property defects and misrepresentation: If you purchased a property with undisclosed defects, we’ll hold the responsible parties accountable and get you compensation for your losses.
  • Condominium litigation: Disputes between condominium owners, associations, and developers can be complex. We’ll help resolve these issues in a way that protects your rights as a property owner.
  • Short-term rentals: Whether you’re a property owner with disputes over short-term rentals or a tenant we’ll be your legal advocate.
  • Homeowner association/neighbor disputes: Disputes with neighbors or homeowner associations can disrupt your peace of mind. We’ll help you resolve these disputes and get a result that works for you.

The Litigation Process

While every case is different the civil litigation process generally goes like this:

  1. Consultation and Case Evaluation: We’ll start by talking about your situation and evaluating your case. This helps us determine the best course of action and the possible outcomes.
  2. Pleadings and Discovery: If litigation is necessary we’ll file the necessary legal documents to start the case. During the discovery phase both parties will exchange information and gather evidence for their respective cases.
  3. Negotiation and Settlement: Many civil cases are resolved before trial. We’ll negotiate a settlement that works for you and avoid a courtroom battle whenever possible.
  4. Trial and Judgment: If a settlement can’t be reached we’ll advocate for you in court, present your case to the judge or jury, and get a good result for you.

Having a Trust is a significant element of estate planning that allows you to determine who receives what from your estate and when they will receive it.  Generally, trusts allow more control and peace of mind than a will, so they are often a preferred means of estate planning. If there are any concerns or conflicts that arise around your trust, trust litigation may occur.  This process can be time-consuming, expensive, and stressful for your family and loved ones, so we will break down some of the things you can do to avoid litigation for your trust.
