Civil Litigation

You want to hire an experienced Las Vegas civil litigation lawyer anytime you are involved in a legal dispute with another individual or entity.  You should consult with a civil litigator even before a lawsuit is filed as litigators are also experienced at resolving disputes absent the need for formal litigation.  This could obviously save you substantial money, time and stress.  In many cases, hiring an attorney at the inception of a dispute allows you to steer the dispute into a less-costly dispute-resolution venue, i.e., arbitration or mediation.
