What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation refers to legal disputes between individuals, businesses, or other entities seeking monetary damages or court-ordered relief rather than criminal penalties.

Common civil litigation matters include:
- Breach of contract disputes
- Business torts, including fraud, interference with contractual relations, and unfair competition
- Real estate disputes, including easements, boundary issues, and landlord-tenant conflicts
- Eminent domain and inverse condemnation claims
- Construction litigation involving defects, delays, or payment disputes
- Land use and zoning conflicts
