Civil Disputes (Litigation)

No one wants to be in a legal dispute. Unfortunately, people find themselves in these situations more often than they would expect. These issues can stem from personal or business-related disagreements and/or misunderstandings. 

Unlike criminal cases, a civil dispute generally involves asking the court to award monetary damages. This means the court would find that one party owes the other party money to compensate for the actual loss, future loss, or suffering the winning party incurred as a result of the losing party's actions or inactions. 

Whether you have been sued, are considering suing a person or business, or wanting more information about the process and potential outcomes of civil litigation, the lawyers at Rob Rhyne Law can help.

From initial conflict through final resolution, our lawyers can help.

Whether a consumer is unhappy with a service or product, a supplier agreement goes south, or owners are fighting over the direction of a company, business disputes can involve every facet of a business and its operations. 

Unfortunately, business disputes can cause major issues with a business's ability to operate, serve their customers, and ultimately become profitable. These cases often involve contracts with suppliers or vendors, or consumer complaint issues about products or liability, and end up costing a business their reputation.

Even cases involving disputes between business owners can have severe negative impacts on the brand and profitability of an organization.  

Regardless of the situation, our lawyers know how to help your business. 

Personal disputes often start with differing opinions about a matter that two or more people are faced with. Disagreements over a property boundary, who owns a fence, contract provisions and their interpretation, or other things that impact a person's daily life, are all examples that can lead to personal disputes requiring the legal system to decide who is right. 

Civil disputes have a basis in what is known as Tort Law. Tort claims can include trespassing, harassment, privacy violations, physical harm, and just about anything that two or more people could dispute. While no one wants to deal with these types of issues, understanding your options allow you to make informed decisions about civil litigation. 

When you find yourself in a legal dispute, or feel the need to understand your legal options, Rob Rhyne Law can help. 

There are times people or businesses may find themselves in a situation where a creditor is knocking on their door, even if it is not their fault. Additionally, you may find yourself in a situation where someone owes you money. 

A collection situation, like those above, require a precise understanding of the law, the timelines required for responses, the proper procedures for communicating with the other party, and the methods used to collect the debts. 

At Rob Rhyne Law, we will work to assist you in negotiating a settlement for your collections matter or stand by you in court to fight a disputed amount or situation.
