Litigation is the process of resolving disputes within the court system. It includes several stages, such as filing a lawsuit, exchanging information, and possibly going to trial.

Key steps in the litigation process include:

• Filing a Complaint: This is the legal way of stating, "You wronged me, and I want it fixed."
• Negotiation: Parties may attempt to settle the dispute without going to trial.
• Mediation: A neutral third party assists the parties in reaching a settlement.
• Arbitration: An informal process where an arbitrator makes a binding decision.
• Discovery: A formal exchange of information between the parties.
• Trial: A courtroom proceeding where the parties present their arguments.
• Appeal: A process to challenge a court's decision.

Litigation can be expensive, and it is unlikely that a party will recoup all of their legal costs. Get in touch with us at Bolgrien, Koepke & Kimes, LLC Attorneys at Law.
