When business transactions or relationships fail to meet the parties’ expectations, they often end up in litigation.  The attorney you need to help you in these situations depends upon the litigation, i.e. which court, what issues, etc.

The need for an attorney is often initiated when a dispute turns into a lawsuit.  Typically when a disagreement arises, the parties will correspond and communicate initially until it becomes obvious that an impasse is inevitable.  Once that occurs the offended party will often seek counsel from an attorney.  The attorney will continue the dialogue through demands and other correspondence, but when those overtures do not succeed, a suit is likely to be filed.

Upon filing, if you’re on the receiving end of the litigation, you truly need representation.  In fact, if you’re incorporated, it’s likely you are required to have an attorney representing you before the court.

The process often becomes more intensive as the litigation unfolds: discovery in the forms of interrogatories, depositions, etc., are usually necessary, and there are likely to be pre-trial conferences and alternative resolution proceedings, like mediation.
