Defining Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is a branch of law that involves a legal dispute between two or more parties that seek monetary damages or specific performances rather than criminal sanctions. The aim is not punishment or correction, as is typical in criminal law, but the resolution of disputes and the provision of compensation for victims. This broad category includes anything from small claims lawsuits to complex multi-district litigation.

Contract disputes are a common type of civil litigation. These cases arise when two or more parties disagree about the terms or performance of a contractual agreement. The aim here is to enforce the terms of the contract or seek damages for any losses incurred due to the breach.

Employment law cases are also a part of civil litigation. These could involve issues such as wrongful termination, discrimination, or harassment in the workplace.

Civil litigation requires skilled legal representation due to its complexity. Legal representation plays an integral role in understanding and interpreting the law, gathering and presenting evidence, and negotiating or advocating in court. Parties involved in these cases, such as employees who have been wrongfully terminated or business owners entangled in contract disputes, require a knowledgeable attorney to level the playing field and ensure that their rights are adequately protected.

What Our Clients Say

JPM What can I say about Mr. John Paul Martin that hasn't already been said. This man is a great lawyer and even more than that he is a great human being! I came to know John during a case where he was the lawyer for the class and I was one of the reps. John didn't just care about the case he cared about me as a human being. He would call me just to chat about whatever. How many lawyers let alone friends do that. We still talk to this day.

John represented me with very favorable results in two employment cases: one wrongful termination and one for discrimination. John is an expert in employment law and brilliant in his thinking about a case. He has an amazing ability to craft profound arguments for a case and is so creative in finding flaws in the arguments he is presented with. What I appreciate most about John, aside from getting favorable results, is that he cares about his clients and is dedicated to helping those who have been wronged.

The case involved years of investigative and collective work by Mr. Martin that included collecting information from the thousands of co-workers through discovery, and depositions. With due diligence, wisdom and innovative and creative lawyering, Mr. Martin prevailed in a case that set laws and standards within the work industry for tens of thousands of employees and collected and distributed compensatory damages to thousands of class members.
