Frequently Asked Questions About Litigation

What types of cases does your litigation team handle?

Our litigation practice encompasses a broad spectrum of civil disputes including contract conflicts, property disputes, business disagreements, employment matters, probate contests, and construction issues. While we don’t handle criminal defense cases, our civil litigation experience spans virtually every area of our practice. During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your specific situation and provide straightforward guidance about potential approaches and outcomes.

How long will my litigation case take to resolve?

The timeline for litigation varies significantly depending on case complexity, court scheduling, and whether settlement is possible. Simple matters might resolve in months, while complex cases can extend beyond a year, particularly if appeals are involved. While we can’t control all factors affecting timeline, we work efficiently to move your case forward while keeping you informed about progress and expected timeframes at each stage.

What are the alternatives to going to trial?

Many disputes can be resolved without a full trial through alternative approaches including negotiated settlements, mediation, and arbitration. These methods often save time, money, and stress while allowing more control over outcomes. Our litigation team evaluates each case for settlement potential and advises on the most advantageous resolution path, whether that means early settlement discussions or preparing aggressively for trial to strengthen your negotiating position.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Prue Law over the years and in the past year had need for legal assistance on several issues during a very difficult period in my life. Attorney Evelina Ruskowski and Paralegal Franchesca York were professional and delivered positive outcomes without any glitches. Beyond their proficiency they were sincere and understanding, making me feel like more than a client, making me feel like I had advocates looking out for my best interests. I highly recommend Prue Law for anyone in need of legal counsel. Bill Connors

The Prue Law Group came recommended by our neighbors, and we were very impressed with their help, clarity, and responsiveness in transferring some property - especially Allison Renfree, the Paralegal who put it all together. She was thoughtful and considerate and a great help to all concerned, dispensing good and timely advice. 👍
