What to Expect
Request A ConsultationFree Introductory Phone Call
One of our receptionists or legal assistants will gather information about your case. This usually takes about half an hour.
Not all lawyers and law firms specialize in all types of cases. If your case is within the scope of law we handle, we can schedule a free office or phone consultation with one of our civil litigation attorneys. If not, we will do our best to refer you to a law firm that can help.
Information-Gathering
We will ask you for additional information during or after the first phone call. It will be your task to gather this information, which will help us when it comes time to research the situation and specific laws that may apply to your case.
Free Consultation
You will consult with a civil litigation attorney for about an hour. This is your chance to get to know the attorney and see if they’re a good fit.
The attorney will share their analysis of your situation and recommend next steps. They will also let you know about anything further we need to get started.
This first consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. Our firm must have a signed agreement to represent you.
We Get to Work
If you decide to hire us, we will enter into a signed contract. You will make your payment for our services.
Once these steps are complete, we can officially represent you as your legal team. We will keep you informed throughout your case.

Civil Litigation FAQ
Here are answers to some of the questions our civil litigation lawyers hear most often.
This is general information only. For questions about your specific situation, you should talk with a knowledgeable civil litigation attorney. You deserve the answers you need to make the best possible decision.
Request a Free ConsultationCivil litigation refers to a legal dispute (a “lawsuit”) between two or more parties (two people, a person and a business, etc.). This is different from a criminal case, in which a prosecutor brings charges on behalf of the government. Usually, one party in a civil suit seeks monetary damages from the other — this is what’s meant by “suing someone.” Sometimes, the desired result isn’t money but some other remedy.
A judge or jury may decide most civil cases. However, some specific, limited civil cases aren’t entitled to a jury trial.
Civil cases do not involve jail time. A party is found “liable” (responsible for the damages).
Each case is different, depending on the nature of the claim and local statute of limitations. In Kansas, some claims can expire only two years after the triggering event.
You should contact a Wichita civil litigation attorney when considering filing a lawsuit. Not only can an experienced attorney help you navigate the statute of limitations and prepare your case, but they can provide consistent support throughout the process.
Some of the most common cases to appear in civil court include:
- Personal injury claims
- Contract disputes
- Driver’s license suspension appeals
- Medical malpractice
- Property disputes
Our team has years of experience helping clients resolve civil cases in various litigation areas and can help you receive fair compensation.
Arbitration and mediation are methods to resolve disputes without going to trial.
- Arbitration is more formal and trial-like. Both parties argue their side in front of an arbitrator, who provides a ruling that most parties must honor.
- In mediation, a neutral third party acts as a negotiator. They agree to listen objectively to both sides of the dispute and help reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
If you’re considering filing a lawsuit or are curious if you have a case, it’s best to consult with a civil litigation attorney as soon as possible. When you partner with a trusted and experienced attorney, they can help guide you through the necessary paperwork, steps, and procedures and understand which cases have the best chance of success.
Some cases are better handled through alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration or mediation. Your Wichita civil litigation attorney can make sure you understand all your options.
