About Civil Litigation
LawPoint offers comprehensive civil ligation services. Civil litigation refers to any type of legal dispute between two or more parties where the subject is not a criminal matter. Instead, the goal of a civil dispute is to obtain monetary damages or equitable relief. Because there are many different types of cases or disputes which can be classified as civil litigation, a civil litigation attorney must be knowledgeable in many different areas and have experience representing clients in trials, hearings, arbitrations and mediations, both in federal and state courts.

What Our Clients Say
Common Questions About Civil Litigation
What is civil litigation?
Civil litigation involves legal disputes between individuals, businesses, or other entities seeking monetary damages or specific performance rather than criminal sanctions. Common areas include contract disputes, property disputes, and personal injury claims.
How long does a civil lawsuit take in Kansas?
The duration of a civil lawsuit in Kansas varies based on factors such as case complexity, court schedules, and the willingness of parties to settle. While some cases may resolve in a few months, others can take over a year. Consulting with an experienced attorney can provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific circumstances.
What are the costs associated with pursuing a civil lawsuit in Kansas?
Costs can include court fees, attorney fees, expert witness fees, and other litigation expenses. Many attorneys offer initial consultations to discuss potential costs and may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they receive payment only if you win the case.
Can I represent myself in a civil lawsuit in Kansas?
While you have the right to represent yourself, known as proceeding “pro se,” it’s generally advisable to consult with an attorney. An experienced lawyer can navigate complex legal procedures, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
What are alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods available in Kansas?
Kansas offers several ADR methods, including mediation and arbitration, to resolve disputes without going to trial. These methods can be more cost-effective and quicker than traditional litigation. An attorney can help determine the most appropriate ADR method for your case.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit in Kansas?
The statute of limitations varies depending on the type of claim. For example, personal injury claims typically have a two-year limit, while breach of contract claims may have a three-year limit. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the applicable timeframe.
