Championing Your Legal Rights and Fighting for You in Court
For most of us, the need rarely arises when we require legal representation to help us through a complicated legal dispute. In many cases, we are able to resolve differences on our own or through alternative dispute resolution measures like mediation. However, sometimes, resolving all differences in a conflict between two or more parties is impossible. In such instances, the parties involved are encouraged to retain professional legal representation to assist them through the complexities of non-criminal cases.
Kreider Attorneys at Law is a law firm dedicated to representing the needs of our clients in Greensboro, North Carolina. Led by former District Court judge Jonathan G. Kreider, our legal team brings a unique perspective to civil litigation cases.
With our legal representation, we can help you resolve disputes, defend against vulnerabilities of liability, and recover the monetary damages you deserve. To discuss your civil litigation matters in more detail, please contact our law firm to schedule your initial consultation today.
What is a Civil Litigation Case?
Civil litigation cases play out between multiple individuals, government entities, and/or businesses to resolve disputes of a non-criminal nature. For example, if a monetary issue cannot be resolved without taking legal action, a case may go to civil court for litigation.
The civil litigation process works similarly to criminal litigation cases in North Carolina. The case is filed and brought before a judge in state or federal court, the legal representatives of either party present their arguments to the court, and a judge then reviews the evidence and renders their decision.
Our Greensboro civil litigation lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in local and federal courts. We can provide a broad range of legal services, file motions on your behalf, assist in settlement negotiations, and stand by your side through even the most complicated trials.

What Are Common Examples of Civil Litigation Cases?
Civil lawsuit lawyers represent a wide array of civil litigation cases. Our highly skilled legal team is committed to providing you with respectful and dedicated legal representation in pursuit of a satisfactory conclusion to your civil matters.
We can provide legal guidance for civil litigation cases such as the following:
- Business litigation and commercial litigation. Whether you own a large business or a small business, you require experienced legal representation to resolve business disputes between you and your business partners, contractors, and employees. Our civil litigation lawyers would be proud to lend legal assistance to you in your business litigation case
- Contract disputes. When negotiating the terms of a contract or reviewing the language of an already existing contract, disputes may arise. If these disputes and challenges cannot be settled amicably, our law firm would be proud to lend legal assistance
- Debt collection. Both state and federal laws prevent creditors from taking certain actions against debtors. The North Carolina Debt Collection Act prohibits threats of violence, use of profanity, phone calls outside normal business hours, and threatening to seize your property or wages in some instances. A lawyer from our firm can handle debt collectors and help find a suitable resolution to your case. Our North Carolina law firm can also represent debt collectors in their debt collection efforts
- Fraud. Victims of fraud often feel violated and taken advantage of. Shame can sometimes cause the victim of fraud to opt against filing a civil lawsuit. Our law firm wants to empower victims of fraud in civil litigation cases
- Insurance claims. When insurance companies act in bad faith, whether in workers’ compensation claims or other civil cases, we can act in your best interest and work to ensure that you are treated fairly by the insurance providers
- Labor and employment disputes. Some employees have good reason to bring a dispute forward against their employers for safety violations, sexual harassment claims, and other legal matters that cannot be resolved through arbitration or other means. The help of an experienced civil litigation attorney can be invaluable to employees intimidated by their employers
- Landlord and tenant disputes. Disputes between landlords and their tenants are fairly common. If the dispute cannot be settled between the two parties, legal action may be necessary. Consider your legal options by speaking with our law firm first
- Malicious prosecution. If another person or entity abuses the legal system in an attempt to cause you harm, you may be eligible to seek monetary damages. An experienced attorney can help you file a malicious prosecution lawsuit if another party has filed a frivolous lawsuit against you
- Medical malpractice. When professionals act with negligence or misconduct, it may give rise to civil litigation. In addition to holding negligent doctors accountable for their actions, we can seek damages from other negligent professionals
- Personal injury. If another party’s negligence led to your injuries, you may be able to hold them accountable by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Should your case go to trial, you want attorneys experienced in handling civil litigation matters to represent your needs
- Probate conflicts. Unfortunately, family disputes during the probate process are fairly common as sometimes estate planning documents leave room for interpretation. If you have a probate concern, our law firm can assist with civil litigation to help you recover what you deserve
- Real estate disputes. Many issues can arise in the buying, selling, and building of real estate property. We can help cut through the legalese and bring your civil litigation case to a satisfactory conclusion
Whatever your type of civil litigation case—be it a workers’ comp claim, contract dispute, personal injury case, or something else entirely—our highly skilled legal team is ready to take it to trial before a jury in pursuit of the most optimal outcome.
Do You Need a Trial Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Case?
While most cases involving personal injury accidents are settled out of court, some personal injury lawsuits end up going to trial. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s carelessness, negligence, or misconduct, our law firm can represent your legal rights and pursue a fair settlement that helps compensate you for the damage done.
Prior to going to trial, our attorneys will explore other options, including negotiating for the maximum compensation out of the courtroom setting. However, sometimes trials cannot be avoided, at which point you would require the professional legal counsel of an experienced trial attorney.
Our Greensboro law firm is proud of our extensive experience both in and out of the courtroom, representing clients in complex trials and civil litigation matters. While other North Carolina law firms may hesitate to take your legal matter to court, we will do whatever is necessary in pursuit of justice and a fair financial recovery.
How Can a North Carolina Civil Litigation Attorney Help You Through the Legal Process?
The civil litigation process varies depending on jurisdiction and specific legal issues, but there are certain stages that are common across most civil cases.
The pre-litigation phase is the initial investigation, where your attorneys will gather evidence, attempt to negotiate or try other alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, and then draft a demand letter if all else fails. Next, the plaintiff and their legal representative would file a formal written complaint that outlines the facts of the case, legal claims, and potential remedies that may be appropriate in the Settlement. The complaint will be filed with the appropriate court, initiating the lawsuit.
The parties involved in the lawsuit would then exchange pleadings, including the complaints, answers to those complaints, and any counterclaims. The discovery phase begins next, during which the parties gather evidence through legal methods such as depositions, document requests, and interrogatories.
Throughout civil litigation, parties are encouraged to engage in settlement negotiations in hopes of resolving the legal dispute outside of court. If a settlement can be reached before going to trial, this could potentially save both parties time and money.
If no settlement can be reached between the multiple parties, the lawsuit will proceed to trial. At this point, the attorneys representing either side would present their evidence, bring forth witnesses, and lay out legal arguments to support their case. A judge or jury will then decide a judgment.
How Can the Legal Representation of North Carolina Civil Litigation Attorneys Help Your Case?
Civil litigation attorneys, also known as trial lawyers or litigators, help clients through civil litigation legal issues in and out of the courtroom setting.
While the whole process of going through civil litigation can be complicated, your lawyers will help by facilitating and managing every step of the process and backing your interests along the way.
In some cases, the party or their insurance company may offer an initial settlement. You may be tempted to accept the settlement offer, but it is possible that they could do better. Your litigator can help negotiate better terms and bring your case to its most optimal conclusion.
