Skilled Litigator Serving Clients Throughout Tennessee

Unfortunately, not all disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. If you find yourself at an impasse, a civil lawsuit may be your only recourse for protecting your interests and moving forward. At Kuebler and Associates, PLLC, in Chattanooga, our attorney is an aggressive litigator who will do everything possible to secure a favorable outcome in your case.

Whether your conflict involves construction, real estate or personal injury, our team has the experience needed to provide the hands-on representation you deserve. If you are considering pursuing legal action or have been named in a lawsuit, it is imperative that you contact an experienced civil litigation lawyer as soon as possible.

What Is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation is the court process through which one or more parties seek to resolve a dispute. Civil lawsuits are not criminal matters, though a case can in some situations warrant criminal charges and civil legal action. To initiate civil litigation, the aggrieved party will file a “complaint” with the applicable court. The complaint will name one or more defendants and explain what they did (or did not do) and how their conduct harmed the claimant. The defendant(s) will have an opportunity to respond to, or “answer,” the allegations contained in the complaint. Depending on the substance of the answer, the claimant may also issue an additional “reply.” At this point, the defendant’s legal team may also move to dismiss part or the entirety of the lawsuit.

After pleadings have been entered, the discovery process will begin. Both parties will gather information and testimony, request and review evidence, and conduct depositions. Discovery tends to last until a trial can be scheduled. A civil trial may or may not involve a jury. If there is no jury, the judge will decide the outcome of the case. Similar to criminal proceedings, a civil trial will involve both legal teams delivering opening statements, presenting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and making closing arguments.

At Kuebler and Associates, PLLC, we will confidently guide you through each stage of the process. If necessary, we can also help you explore all appeal options. A civil lawsuit may not necessarily be the best method for resolving your dispute. Mediation is often a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to litigation. In mediation, disputing parties will work with a neutral third party to discuss the issues at hand and attempt to reach an agreeable settlement. Attorney Michael Kuebler is a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31-listed Civil Mediator and can conduct sessions as a trained mediator to assist you with these cases.
