Civil Litigation FAQ
Get answers to common questions about civil litigation and how our experienced attorneys can protect your interests in court.
How much does a consultation cost?
We offer free initial consultations for all our practice areas. During this meeting, we'll review your situation, discuss your legal options, and provide an honest assessment of your case. There's no obligation to hire us, and you'll leave with a clear understanding of your legal position.
How quickly can you start working on my case?
We understand that legal matters often require urgent attention. In most cases, we can begin working on your case immediately after our initial consultation and the signing of a retainer agreement. For emergency situations or time-sensitive matters, we make every effort to accommodate urgent needs and can often provide same-day assistance.
What types of civil litigation cases do you handle?
Our civil litigation practice covers contract disputes, business litigation, employment disputes, property conflicts, insurance claims, and professional liability matters. We represent clients in both state and federal courts, handling everything from complex commercial disputes to personal legal matters requiring courtroom advocacy.
How will you keep me updated on my case?
Communication is a priority at Bittner Law LLC. We keep our clients informed through regular phone calls and emails on case developments, prompt responses within 24-48 hours, written summaries of important developments, and scheduled meetings for complex cases. You'll never be left wondering about the status of your case.
Should I try to settle before going to court?
Most civil litigation cases benefit from settlement negotiations, which can be faster and more cost-effective than trial. However, we always prepare your case for trial while exploring settlement opportunities. This dual approach strengthens our negotiating position and ensures we're ready to litigate if the other party won't negotiate reasonably.
How long does civil litigation typically take?
Civil litigation timelines depend on case complexity and court schedules. Simple disputes may resolve in 6-12 months, while complex business litigation can take 1-3 years. Cases that settle often resolve within 3-9 months, while those going to trial typically take 1-2+ years. We'll provide a realistic timeline estimate during your consultation based on your specific circumstances.
