Civil litigation is the legal process when two or more parties become engaged in a non-criminal legal dispute, where compensation, specific performance, or other damages are sought from the other party. Barron & Sweet LLP represents clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, in civil law suits and manages all phases of litigation, from the drafting of the Complaint, discovery, pre-trial, and trial. While advancing our client’s case, we also pursue settlement options and negotiate for the most advantageous terms to resolve the case short of trial. In Massachusetts civil suits can be filed in either Small Claims Court, District Court or Superior Court, depending on the amount in controversy.
