f you need to file a lawsuit against an individual or organization and don’t know how, you may want to consult with a general civil litigation attorney.

Below, we explain what a civil litigation attorney does, how they can benefit you, and the next steps for pursuing a civil suit.

What Does a General Civil Litigation Attorney Do?

A civil litigation attorney takes you through the entire process of filing and pursuing a non-criminal lawsuit. 

Similarly, an attorney can also advise you on whether your case is best suited for court or can be handled better outside of the courtroom. Whatever it is, a skilled civil litigation attorney will fight for your best interests, not their own.

What Does a General Civil Litigation Attorney Do?

There are many types of civil litigation cases. However, here are some of the most common ones:

  • Contract Disputes
  • Personal Injury
  • Alimony/child support
  • Insurance Disputes
Child Custody & Visitation Rights

Lawyers take different approaches to how they bill and how much they charge. Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour or may charge a contingency.

Contingency means you don’t need to pay anything upfront, and your lawyer will take a pre-established percentage if you win your case. If your litigation attorney takes your case on a contingency basis, you probably have a very strong case.

At Wigod & Falzon, we generally work under a contingency-fee basis and have since 1997, as long as the Michigan statute allows it.
