Litigation Attorney

There was a case, controversy, lawsuit or whatever you call so. A contest authorized by law, in a court of justice, for the purpose of enforcing a right. Participants in lawsuits are called litigants. The process of bringing and pursuing a lawsuit is simple. Litigation often proceeds like trench warfare; initial court papers define the parties' legal positions as trenches define battlefield positions. After the initial activity, lawyers sit back for several months or years and lob legal artillery at each other until they grow tired of the warfare and begin settlement negotiations. If settlement is unsuccessful case goes to trial, and the trial may be followed by a lengthy appeal.

Many states have enacted, or are considering, reforms directed at shortening the time a case takes to get to trial and minimizing the expense traditionally associated with litigation. I think that an Austin commercial litigation attorney would serve us better. Among these reforms are the well known Fast track rules that prohibit delays and require each phase of the case to be completed within a particular period of time. The requirements that match certain types of cases be arbitrated rather than pushed through the court system. There are also those that suit our taste. Requirements that attorneys inform their clients of alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation. It is up to you to choose.
