Civil Litigation:

Civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties seeking monetary damages or specific performance rather than criminal sanctions. It involves a broad range of disputes, and litigators generally specialize in one or two specific practice areas. At De Swardt & Associates Inc., civil litigation is one of the key services offered. The firm possesses an experienced team of litigators who are skilled in handling complex civil cases. They represent individuals and businesses in lawsuits involving a variety of issues such as contractual disputes, property damage claims, insurance disputes, divorces and more.

Contractual disputes often arise when one or more parties involved in a contract fail to fulfill their obligations. This could involve anything from a business agreement to a lease contract. Divorce litigation involves representing clients in the dissolution of their marriage, which can include aspects like division of assets, child custody, alimony and more.

Insurance disputes can arise when an insurance company denies a claim that the policyholder believes should be covered. This could involve automobile insurance, health insurance, life insurance, homeowner’s insurance and more. Property damage claims generally involve disputes related to the damage of property due to various reasons like accidents, natural disasters etc.

The firm’s civil litigators work closely with clients to evaluate their potential claims or defences related to the commercial, professional, employment, and personal dispute context. They then represent clients before courts, arbitration panels, administrative agencies, and other bodies to provide the best possible outcomes. In all cases, De Swardt & Associates Inc. aims to resolve disputes as efficiently and effectively as possible, striving to minimize the impact of litigation on the client’s daily activities.
