The Benefits

The Benefits

UNBIASED DECISION-MAKER

Your case comes before a judge, there are certain safeguards in place that ensure this neutral is instructed to consider only the evidence presented in light of applicable law. When parties cannot negotiate a dispute amongst themselves, the neutrality of a judge gives you the security of an unbiased outcome.

DISCOVERY

In litigation, parties have the opportunity to conduct discovery.  Where parties obtain documents, information, and verbal testimony under oath to bolster the case.

RESOLUTION

Litigating a matter or claim provides a final decision, which gives parties a clear outcome and much-needed closure to a dispute.

COOPERATION

If an opposing party becomes uncooperative or impossible to reason with, litigation provides court-ordered deadlines and judgments.

FORMAL AND PUBLIC PROCEEDING

Finally, litigation provides a formal and structured venue for dispute resolution that requires parties to adhere to certain rules and decorum. Also, because most cases are heard publicly and taken down by a court reporter, the case record is well-preserved and court opinions set a clear precedent for future events.
