Civil litigation can arise from a wide range of disputes, including breach of contract, employment disagreements, real estate issues, or claims of fraud. Our firm handles both plaintiff and defense work, giving us a broad perspective and deep experience in how to approach cases effectively. We work to resolve disputes efficiently, seeking settlements where possible, but are fully prepared to advocate for you in court when necessary.

Key Areas of Civil Litigation:

• Article 78 Proceedings: We represent clients challenging administrative decisions made by New York State agencies, municipalities, or public authorities.
• Business Litigation: We help businesses manage complex disputes, whether it involves a breach of contract, shareholder disagreements, or issues related to corporate governance.
• Fraud Litigation: Fraudulent business practices or misrepresentation can lead to significant financial harm. We pursue or defend against fraud claims with a strategic and methodical approach.
• Collections: Whether you need to enforce a judgment or collect on a delinquent account, our team will navigate the collection process to recover what you are owed.

The Civil Litigation Process:

The civil litigation process starts with the filing of a complaint by the plaintiff, outlining their claims against the defendant. This is followed by a response from the defendant, after which both parties engage in discovery—the critical phase where evidence is exchanged through depositions, interrogatories, and document production. Pre-trial motions, such as motions for summary judgment, may be filed to resolve certain issues before going to trial. If the case proceeds to trial, a judge or jury will hear the case and render a decision.

In many instances, disputes are resolved through settlement negotiations or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation or arbitration, which can provide quicker and less expensive resolutions. At Kratka Law Group, we assess the specifics of each case and determine the best approach, whether it’s settlement or going to court.

Risk Management & Proactive Solutions:

At Kratka Law Group, we believe in taking a proactive approach to litigation. Our civil litigation services also include risk management strategies, where we help businesses and individuals identify potential legal vulnerabilities before they turn into disputes. By implementing effective policies, contracts, and internal processes, we work with you to mitigate risks and avoid litigation altogether.
