Chicago Civil Litigation Attorney
We have experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of civil litigation cases. Our office has, for example, represented both individuals and businesses in obtaining injunctions to protect their personal rights or business operations. An injunction is a form of judicial relief which is granted by a Court, under special circumstances, to restrain one party from taking an action which interferes with, or may damage, the rights of another. We also have also successfully defended both individuals and businesses against others who sought an injunction against them.
Another aspect of civil litigation that we have experience handling involves debt collection work. We have represented consumers against businesses seeking to collect money. We have also represented creditors looking to collect monies owed under a contract or other claim.
