Civil Litigation & Trial Lawyers

At Hogan Hulet PLLC, our Las Vegas civil litigation attorneys provide skilled representation for individuals and businesses involved in complex disputes. We guide clients through every stage of the litigation process with precision, strategy, and a focus on results.

What Is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation encompasses legal proceedings where parties seek resolutions to disputes through the court system rather than criminal prosecution. This area of law covers a wide range of issues, including business disputes, contract breaches, personal injury claims, property disagreements, and more. Unlike criminal cases, civil lawsuits typically involve financial compensation or injunctions rather than punitive measures.

A civil trial lawyer plays a pivotal role in representing clients, whether they are pursuing or defending a claim. With a focus on legal advocacy, our litigation attorneys ensure your rights are protected and your case is presented effectively.

Understanding The Civil Litigation Process

Navigating civil litigation requires a clear understanding of its phases. Here’s what to expect when working with our litigation attorneys.

Initial Case Evaluation: Civil litigation begins with a review of the dispute, applicable laws, and the viability of pursuing or defending a claim.
Filing Or Answering A Lawsuit: One party initiates the case by filing a complaint, while the other must respond within a set timeframe to avoid default.
Discovery Process: Both sides gather and exchange evidence, depose witnesses, and build their arguments through formal discovery procedures.
Pre-Trial Negotiations & Alternative Dispute Resolution: Many civil cases are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before reaching the courtroom.
Courtroom Litigation: If no agreement is reached, the case goes to trial, where both parties present their arguments and evidence before a judge or jury.
Post-Trial Actions: Depending on the outcome, after trial, there may be appeals, motions, or efforts to collect or enforce a judgment.

Nevada law imposes strict deadlines for filing civil claims. According to the Nevada Revised Statutes, different types of claims carry specific limitation periods that affect your right to sue.

Our Role In Your Case

The civil litigation procedure can be nerve-wracking, and it helps to know how we will be there for you at every step.

Case Review & Strategy Development

Every case begins with a detailed case review, where our team evaluates the facts, assesses potential outcomes, and crafts a strategic plan tailored to your goals.

Pre-Trial Phase

The pre-trial phase is critical for gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and preparing legal arguments. Whether you're a plaintiff or a defendant, our litigation attorneys ensure you're fully prepared to meet the burden of proof, as defined by Cornell Law School.

Mediation & Arbitration

Many disputes can be resolved without going to court. Our attorneys are skilled in mediation and arbitration, helping clients achieve settlements efficiently and amicably. The U.S. Courts note that Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs are now a standard practice in federal courts.

Courtroom Litigation

When resolution outside the courtroom isn’t possible, our trial attorneys excel in court representation. With a proven track record of successful trials, we provide aggressive advocacy to secure favorable verdicts.

Even after the trial concludes, our team assists with appeals, enforcement of judgments, and any necessary follow-up legal actions.
