Litigation Demands Experience

Throughout this process, having legal representation familiar with the Charleston legal landscape is crucial. A local attorney can navigate the intricacies of the local courts, understand specific legal nuances, and help clients understand potential outcomes and strategic choices available to them.

Pleadings

The process begins with the filing of initial pleadings, which outline the claims and defenses of each party. These documents formally initiate the lawsuit.

Discovery

This phase involves the exchange of information between the parties. It includes the gathering of evidence, witness testimony, and other relevant details that will be presented during the trial.

Pre-Trial Motions

Prior to trial, there may be various motions filed by either party, seeking to address specific legal or procedural issues.

Settlement Negotiation/Mediation

Parties are often encouraged to seek a resolution outside of the courtroom through mediation or settlement negotiations. This can be an opportunity to reach a mutually agreeable resolution without the need for a trial.

Trial

If a settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial. At trial, both sides present their arguments and evidence, and a judge or jury renders a judgment based on the merits of the case.

Appeal

Depending on the outcome of the trial, either party may choose to appeal the decision, leading to further legal proceedings.
