General Civil Litigation

Our experienced civil litigation attorneys regularly represent individuals and businesses in civil disputes involving a wide range of issues in all federal and state courts, as well as appeals to both federal and state appellate courts.  Whether you are pursuing damages against someone who has harmed you or you are the party being sued, you need experienced counsel that will persuasively present your side of the facts to the judge or jury.  We have successfully represented clients in civil litigation matters involving simple and complex contract disputes, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, real estate and property disputes, personal injury, property damages, probate of estates, will contests, fraud, construction defects, and unfair business practices and zoning disputes.

Effective representation in complex civil litigation requires experience in and out of the courtroom and our attorneys will provide you with quality representation from the initial investigation stage through negotiation, trial and appeal, if necessary.  At Smith, Welch & Brittain, we believe there is absolutely no substitute for hard work and thorough preparation, from the inception of the litigation process to its conclusion.
