Civil Litigation

---

Civil Litigation is a broad term which encompasses many forms of litigation and generally includes all disputes that are formally submitted to a court, about any subject in which one party is claimed to have committed a wrong, but not a crime. In practice and in ordinary conversation, lawyers and others concerned with civil litigation tend to treat many specialized subjects as outside this definition, such as labor law, as well as divorce actions and even small claims cases, even though all of these are technically types of “civil” litigation.

I can assists both individual and business clients in a wide variety a “civil” disputes, with special emphasis on disputes which arise from everyday business and personal dealings gone bad.  I also assist persons who have had their civil rights violated.

Since I am admitted in New York and Massachusetts, as well as the Federal Courts, I can represent clients across the tri-state and New England region.
