At HSGLaW, we take pride in being trusted advocates for clients involved in a wide range of civil disputes. Our General Litigation Practice is built on decades of courtroom experience, skilled legal strategy, and a deep commitment to protecting our clients’ rights — no matter how complex the case.
Whether you’re facing a contract disagreement, a government transparency issue, or any other matter, our team knows how to build strong cases and deliver results.
What Is General Litigation?
General litigation refers to the broad category of legal disputes that fall outside of criminal or highly specialized areas like family law or patent law. It typically involves civil matters where one party seeks financial compensation, injunctive relief, or legal clarification.
At HSGLaW, our general litigation cases often include:
- Contract disputes
- Business and commercial litigation
- Public records lawsuits
- Non-compete and employment-related conflicts
We handle these cases from beginning to end — from investigation and filing through discovery, trial, settlement, or appeal.
Areas of Experience
Our team has successfully litigated cases across a variety of legal topics. A few key examples of our work include:
Contract and Commercial Disputes
When businesses or individuals fail to honor their agreements, it can lead to major financial consequences. We represent clients in disputes involving:
- Breach of Contract
- Partnership disagreements
- Vendor or supplier disputes
- Service agreements and warranties
We approach every commercial dispute with a deep understanding of contract law, business realities, and the strategic use of litigation to achieve cost-effective outcomes.
Employment and Non-Compete Disputes
We handle disputes over non-compete clauses, trade secrets, and wrongful termination. Whether representing employers or employees, we aim to resolve these cases efficiently while protecting long-term reputational and financial interests.
Our Litigation Approach
We understand that going to court can be stressful and uncertain. That’s why we walk with our clients every step of the way — breaking down legal jargon, explaining your rights, and preparing you for what to expect.
Our litigation process typically includes:
- Initial Consultation: We evaluate your legal issue and outline possible paths forward.
- Pre-Suit Investigation: We gather facts, review documents, and assess potential claims or defenses.
- Filing the Complaint or Defense: We draft and file legal documents in state or federal court.
- Discovery Process: This includes document exchanges, depositions, and expert analysis.
- Motions & Pretrial Strategy: We file motions to resolve key issues early or prepare for trial.
- Trial or Settlement: Whether through court proceedings or negotiated resolutions, we fight for a favorable outcome.
- Appeals (if needed): Our attorneys also handle appeals and post-trial motions in both state and federal appellate courts.
We also have experience in arbitration, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Common General Litigation Questions
What kinds of cases fall under “general litigation”?
It includes any non-criminal legal dispute that might go to civil court — such as breach of contract, business disagreements, property disputes, and claims for damages due to wrongful conduct.
Can I settle my case without going to trial?
Yes. Many general litigation cases settle before trial, especially when both sides want to avoid the time and cost of extended litigation. However, we always prepare as if your case will go to trial — that’s how we secure the strongest possible position.
How long does a civil case take?
It depends on the complexity of the case, whether it goes to trial, and the court’s schedule. Simple disputes may resolve in a few months, while others may take a year or longer.
What does it cost to hire your firm?
We offer flexible fee arrangements depending on the case type — including hourly rates, contingency fees (you pay only if we win), and flat fees for specific matters. We’ll discuss all options during your consultation.
