Civil Litigation

River Valley Law helps bring your legal dispute into a county district court of law, state district court of law, or federal court of law, or bring a legal action in another venue such as the Office of Administrative Hearings. In litigation, claims are made by the Plaintiff or Complainant, and such claims are defended by the Defendant or Respondent. Either way, individuals or businesses should seek the assistance of an experienced attorney to assist them in pursuing such claims or in defending against them because the judge will hold you to the same procedural rules, process, and legal standards as an attorney.
