Experienced Legal Advocacy from Experienced Civil Litigation Attorneys

Litigation is a way to resolve disputes using the court system. Business disputes in civil litigation cases will end up in civil court, as will labor and employment issues. Meanwhile, probate matters can appear before a probate judge.

Litigation is a process. It begins with a full case evaluation with someone with legal expertise in business law to understand the full scope of the business dispute and the application of relevant law. Then we lean on our experience to judge your chances of success. Whether you are bringing a lawsuit or defending yourself from one, you deserve legal representation which achieves tangible results.

Our lawyers have deep experience in all aspects of litigation, including:

• Fact gathering and depositions
• Document production and disputes
• Claims of attorney-client privilege
• Pretrial motions
• Mediation or settlement discussions
• Jury and bench trials
• Post-trial motions

Cases can be won or lost at any stage of the process. You absolutely need the right legal team in place before you send off a demand letter or respond to a summons.

Providing Value for Our Clients in Business and Commercial Litigation

It’s no exaggeration that litigation costs can easily spiral out of control. What begins as a small dispute can, through discovery and other pretrial work, suddenly represent a major expense.

At Johnson May, we stay attuned to the full costs of litigation. Our team will talk you through your options, including negotiation and settlement. You might more cost-effectively resolve a dispute outside of court than by going to trial.

We can also work closely with insurance companies, who might be involved based on the subject of the dispute. Insurers might try to “take over” a case, especially if you are being sued. Get an objective assessment of your legal rights from our law firm.

When done right, litigation preserves the value of any business. We have obtained damages for clients injured by contract breaches, unfair business practices, and infringement of proprietary information.

We can also seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to immediately protect your interests and restrain the other side. These emergency orders effectively maintain the status quo when your rights are at risk. Emergency relief is a growing part of many business disputes, and you deserve a lawyer who can protect you now—not a year later after trial when you have suffered serious harm.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Boise

Increasingly, many disputes are resolved outside of court using alternative dispute resolution. Some of the most important ADR techniques include:

• Negotiation; We can work with the other side to narrow the issues in dispute or possibly resolve all of them. We then draft a written settlement agreement, which represents a binding contract.
• Mediation; This process involves the help of an experienced mediator, who is a third party neutral. A mediator isn’t a judge. Their role is more to help each side hear what the other is saying and to propose ways of solving the dispute. When successful, mediation results in a binding settlement agreement, sometimes much faster than trial.
• Arbitration; Somewhat like a trial, arbitration takes place before one or more arbitrators, who will decide the dispute. Arbitration can be a way to simplify the dispute process and is less formal than court.

There are advantages to each approach for our clients. Solving a dispute without full-scale litigation benefits our clients economically. Litigation can last for several years, depending on the complexity of the underlying facts. If you can’t get into small claims court, then you might wait years to reach judgment. With mediation or arbitration, you can resolve the legal dispute faster.

Nonetheless, there are situations where our clients must litigate a claim. There might be no way to reach an agreeable solution if neither side will budge. We can use our experience in civil litigation to win cases other firms might lose.
