American Bar Association defines litigation as:

“Litigation is a process for handling disputes in the court system. Litigation is a contested action, where someone else, such as a judge may make the final decisions for the parties unless the parties settle before trial. Settlement can happen at any point during the process. During the litigation process, there may be a series of hearings and temporary orders (e.g. temporary custody and support), culminating in the final orders.  Final orders regarding the real issues in the case (e.g. custody, support, division of assets) are usually entered only after there has been a trial with witnesses.”

The cost of resolving a dispute largely depends upon the flexibility of parties involved. It can vary from a few hundreds to thousands of dollars. Our pre-litigation services and efforts of resolving your conflict before it enters a courtroom are designed to save your money. Please see and choose from our pricing models.

A typical litigation can take somewhere between six months to a few years to resolve a dispute. It all depends on routes chosen by parties and the flexibility to settle the matter. Sometimes pre-litigation negotiations between counsels may result in quick and cost-effective solutions to complex issues.
