General Civil Practice

Legal Assistance for a Broad Range of Civil Matters

Legal problems do not always fall neatly into a single practice area.

A dispute may involve contracts, property, business relationships, financial obligations, employment issues, or several different legal subjects at the same time.

Black Ballard McDonald P.C. maintains a general civil practice that allows our attorneys to assist individuals and businesses with a broad range of legal questions and disputes.

Evaluating a Civil Legal Problem

The first step in many civil matters is determining exactly what legal issues are involved.

Our attorneys may review contracts, correspondence, court documents, property records, financial documents, and other information relevant to the situation.

After reviewing the circumstances, we can help the client understand the legal issues involved and available options.

Some matters can be addressed through advice, document preparation, or negotiation. Other disputes may require mediation, arbitration, litigation, or another formal legal proceeding.

Matters Involving Multiple Areas of Law

A broad civil practice can be particularly valuable when a matter crosses traditional practice-area boundaries.

For example, a dispute involving a business property could involve corporate law, contract law, real estate law, banking issues, and civil litigation.

Our firm's experience across these related areas allows us to evaluate the matter as a whole rather than viewing each legal issue in isolation.

If you are unsure which practice area applies to your legal situation, contacting the firm can help determine the appropriate attorney or next step.
