Civil Litigation FAQ’s
What types of cases fall under civil litigation?
Civil litigation covers a wide range of non-criminal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These can include contract breaches, landlord-tenant issues, consumer protection claims, and personal injury cases. Whether you're in Memphis, Germantown, or Collierville, our civil litigation attorneys help you pursue fair outcomes through strategic legal action.
How do I file a civil suit in Tennessee?
To file a civil lawsuit in Tennessee, you'll need to draft a formal complaint and submit it to the correct court—often based on where the dispute occurred or where the defendant resides. From Memphis to Collierville, Mitchell Law Firm can handle filings, serve notices, and guide you through discovery, negotiation, and trial if needed.
What damages can I recover?
Civil suits can result in compensatory (economic and non-economic) and sometimes punitive damages. In auto accident property damage cases, for example, plaintiffs may recover costs for repairs, diminished vehicle value, towing, and rental car expenses. Businesses and individuals in Germantown and Collierville frequently turn to our firm to help quantify and recover their full losses in court.
How is mediation different from trial?
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process where both parties work with a neutral third party to find common ground. It’s typically less formal, less expensive, and faster than a trial. Many of our clients in Germantown and Memphis opt for mediation to avoid drawn-out litigation and retain more control over the outcome.
What evidence strengthens my case?
Strong civil cases rely on documentation, witness credibility, and expert testimony. Contracts, emails, receipts, photographs, and medical reports all help build a compelling claim. Whether you're dealing with a contract breach in Collierville or a personal injury dispute in Memphis, we ensure your evidence is gathered, preserved, and used strategically in court.
From torts to tenant disputes, we help you resolve legal challenges that disrupt your life or your business. At Mitchell Law Firm, you’ll work directly with an attorney who listens, builds a plan, and fights for results.
