Civil Litigation Attorney in Kansas City

What is civil litigation?

Civil litigation involves lawsuits regarding disputes between two parties in which damages or specific actions are sought. These differ from criminal suits in that no actual crime is necessarily involved (although some actions may be subject to both criminal and civil proceedings). Civil suits often make use of mediation, hearings and arbitrations, and out-of-court settlements, but can also include courtroom trials. If you are facing a civil litigation issue, contact an Kansas City lawyer for help understanding your legal options and for advice on the best course of legal action. Some areas of potential civil litigation include:

• Personal injury law
• Intellectual property issues
• Medical malpractice
• Real estate matters
• Landlord/tenant issues
• Construction disputes
• Employment and labor matters
• Worker's compensation
• Education-related concerns
• Environmental law
