PRACTICE AREAS

Litigation:

Litigation is the process of resolving disputes through the court system. Litigation involves drafting and filing lawsuits, engaging in discovery such as taking depositions, filing and responding to various motions, attending hearings, and ultimately conducting a trial.

Litigation can be costly and time-consuming, so at Zies Widerman Sutch & Malek, our first priority is always to resolve client disputes without litigation. We do this by negotiating on behalf of our clients, by conducting mediations and arbitrations, and by utilizing other alternative dispute resolution techniques.

When litigation is required, Zies Widerman Sutch & Malek vigorously represents its clients’ interests. We are results-oriented and cost-conscious from the initial drafting of a complaint all the way through trial and any appeals. Our clients can contact us at any time and can depend on us to be there to answer their legal questions, to write letters or make calls on their behalf, or to respond to any legal actions asserted against them.

The attorneys at Zies Widerman Sutch & Malek have years of experience in business and commercial litigation, landlord-tenant litigation, land use litigation, contractor/construction litigation, and most other contract litigation. We practice in both state and federal court and also represent clients in front of various licensing boards and other departments of state and local government.
