Civil Litigation

At Jutla Legal, LLC, we understand how legal disputes can impact both your personal and professional life. Whether you’re facing a business disagreement, a property dispute, or a personal legal matter, civil litigation can be complex and stressful. With over 20 years of experience, our skilled attorneys are here to advocate for your interests, navigate the intricacies of the legal system, and work toward a favorable resolution for you.

Civil litigation involves the legal process by which two or more parties engage in a non-criminal lawsuit to settle a dispute. Unlike criminal cases, where the state prosecutes individuals for crimes, civil litigation usually involves private parties seeking monetary compensation, property rights, or specific actions—such as enforcing a contract. These cases are heard in civil courts and cover a wide variety of legal issues.

Illinois Civil Procedure refers to the legal rules and guidelines that govern how civil cases are filed, processed, and resolved in the state of Illinois. These procedures outline every step of a lawsuit, from the initial filing of a complaint to discovery, trial, and potential appeal. Key components of Illinois Civil Procedure include how to properly serve legal documents, timelines for responding to complaints, and the rules for submitting evidence. Understanding and adhering to these procedural rules is critical to ensuring that a case proceeds smoothly and that the parties' rights are protected throughout the litigation process.

Civil litigation covers numerous legal disputes, including but not limited to:

• Contract Disputes: Cases arising from breaches of contract or failure to meet contractual obligations.
• Real Estate Disputes: Issues involving property boundaries, evictions, foreclosures, landlord-tenant conflicts, and other real estate matters.
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Disputes where one party fails to act in the best interest of another, common in business and estate matters.
• Violation Defense & Compliance: Dispute with villages and municipalities over building code violations.
