When you are facing a civil lawsuit it can be hard to know what to expect or where to start. Meridian Law has decades of litigation experience and has practiced in state court and federal court, representing clients statewide in bench trials, jury trials, and appeals. We are here to guide you through the process and represent your best interests every step of the way.
A civil lawsuit is a non-criminal legal dispute. It typically begins when one party files a complaint against another seeking compensation or asking them to stop a specific action. Some cases are resolved outside of court through negotiation or agreement. Others go to trial in front of a judge or jury. However your case unfolds, our attorneys have the experience to represent you at every level.
Civil litigation is rarely straightforward. There are often claims and defenses on both sides, and exploring every option is critical to reaching the best possible outcome for you. Our attorneys will lay out your options clearly and explain what each one means for your case so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
As members of the Missouri Bar Association, the Boone County Bar Association, the Missouri Organization of Defense Lawyers, and the Defense Research Institute, we have developed strong relationships with other attorneys locally and statewide, and are familiar with practice and procedure in the local courts. Both of which allow us to navigate the process efficiently and advocate effectively on your behalf.
