Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Litigation

Civil litigation can feel complex when you are unsure of the process. Here are a couple of frequently asked questions for your guidance.

What is civil litigation?

Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve disputes between individuals, businesses, institutions or other parties. It may involve claims, applications, notices, pleadings, negotiations or court proceedings.

When should I contact a litigation attorney?

You should contact a litigation attorney as soon as a dispute becomes serious, documents are received, deadlines are involved, or your rights, property, business or finances may be affected.

Can a civil dispute be resolved without going to court?

In some matters, yes. Depending on the facts, a dispute may be resolved through correspondence, negotiation or settlement discussions before formal court proceedings continue.

What documents should I bring to a consultation?

Bring all relevant contracts, notices, letters, emails, invoices, proof of payment, photographs, court documents and any written record that explains the background of the dispute.

Does submitting an enquiry mean the firm is acting for me?

No. An attorney-client relationship is only created once Wessels & Smith Inc has agreed to act and the necessary letter of engagement has been signed.
