Leighton law group

Civil litigation is the method by which individuals or businesses resolve their disputes in court. It includes lawsuits over broken promises, such as contracts and warranties, and wrongful behavior, including negligence and fraud. At Leighton Law Group, we have the experience to help address any type of dispute in an efficient and effective manner.

Sometimes the best way to resolve a dispute is to avoid going to court. Arbitration and mediation are alternative ways to have a matter heard and resolved by a neutral third-party. Less formal than going to court, alternative  dispute resolution can offer parties a quick and often less expensive path to justice.

A final ruling is not always the end of a case. If the judge misinterpreted or misapplied the law, then an appeal may be appropriate and the attorneys at Leighton Law Group have the experience to help. Jay B.
