Professional Liability and General Civil Litigation
Any dispute involving individuals or businesses, which does not involve a criminal charge, may be referred to as civil litigation. While civil litigation is undertaken to reclaim money, property or services owed, a civil action may also involve breach of a non-disclosure agreement, violations of fair trade practice, allegations of professional errors and omissions, and breach of fiduciary duty to name a few examples.
Civil litigation has been a part of Lobb & Cliff’s practice throughout its existence. Our attorneys handle civil disputes in a variety of subject areas, such as real estate litigation, a wide variety of professional liability claims, business disputes and employment law matters.
