Santa Barbara & Ventura County Civil Litigation Attorney
It is not uncommon for individuals or businesses to find themselves involved in a legal dispute with another party. Disputes of this nature, such as a breach of contract, typically fall under civil law, in what is known as civil litigation, which entails the use of courts or arbitrators for adjudication.
For plaintiffs involved in a civil law or litigation matter, the objective is to right a wrong, or honor an agreement. Defendants in a civil litigation matter will want to aggressively protect their rights in opposing the plaintiff’s claim.
Whether you are a plaintiff or defendant in Ventura or Santa Barbara County, hiring a qualified civil litigation attorney with experience in civil law is crucial in achieving a successful outcome in your case.

We represent clients from Santa Barbara County before administrative agencies, alternative dispute resolution proceedings such as mediation or arbitration, jury or court trials in state and federal court as well as proceedings before appellate courts. We help clients prepare their cases and counsel them on the steps and procedures involved in civil law matters. A skilled attorney can help clients leverage their negotiating position to reach a beneficial settlement which may be the most appropriate and economical manner of handling certain cases.
