When a civil dispute is taken to trial, the standard of proof is usually less strict than in criminal litigation. In a criminal trial, the prosecutor is required to present convincing evidence and prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt in order to prevail. However, in civil litigation, the party that prevails is the one that presents more convincing evidence than the other. Michel & Associates evaluates cases carefully to make sure that we have the best chances possible as a positive outcome for our clients.

Considering the fact that civil litigation encompasses non-criminal legal cases, the roles of a civil litigation lawyer are usually broad and diverse. Types of civil cases include personal injury claims, antitrust litigation, civil rights, product liability suits, employment issues, corporate matters, real estate litigation, etc. Many civil litigation cases never in up in a courtroom because the parties decide settlement is a better option. Michel & Associates has the expertise to work through the complicated aspects of civil litigation for our clients.
