Civil Litigation FAQs
How long does a civil lawsuit take in Miami?
Most civil cases in Miami-Dade County take 12–24 months from filing to trial, though many settle earlier. Complex commercial cases can take longer. Our attorneys work to resolve your matter as efficiently as possible.
What is the difference between civil and criminal litigation?
Civil litigation involves disputes between private parties seeking money damages or specific performance. Criminal cases are brought by the government and can result in incarceration. In civil cases the burden of proof is 'preponderance of the evidence,' a lower standard than criminal's 'beyond a reasonable doubt.'
Do I need an attorney to file a civil lawsuit in Florida?
You are not legally required to have an attorney, but civil litigation involves complex rules of procedure, evidence, and substantive law. Having experienced counsel dramatically improves your chances of success.
What are attorney fees for civil litigation?
We offer free initial consultations. Fee arrangements depend on the nature of the case — contingency fees, hourly rates, or flat fees. We will explain your options clearly before you commit to anything.
