Civil Lawyer Chicago

For someone who is not well versed with the law, the civil legal system in the U.S. can be complicated and hard to understand. However, with the right lawyer by your side, you can seek justice in civil court for a variety of wrongdoings. If you are trying to recover damages from another party or to defend against a lawsuit brought against you, you need a professional civil lawyer who can protect your rights and fight in court for your best interests.

Understanding Illinois Civil Litigation

​

Whenever there is a legal conflict between two or more parties that needs to be settled in court, this is settled by civil litigation.

A plaintiff lodges a lawsuit with the court against another individual or business organization (the defendant), which specifies why they sued them and what compensation or course of action they seek. Then, the defendant is issued with a summons notifying them of the allegation, and when and where to appear in court.

The stage of discovery is very important. This is where an attorney collects all relevant information to the case through research, depositions, written statements, and subpoenas documents. Sometimes that is where a case is won or lost. Most civil cases do not necessarily end up in litigation, but often conclude with a settlement arrangement reached during or after discovery with the help of an attorney.
