Civil Trial
Banks and Morris, P.A. represents clients in many areas of civil litigation. Examples of such civil disputes would be contract cases, commercial and business disputes, and real estate issues.
When individuals or companies are unable to resolve their disputes, our attorneys are often called upon to either file a lawsuit or defend a lawsuit. After a lawsuit is filed, it can take up to one to two years until the case is resolved by a trial. Much of this time is consumed by gathering information from the opposing party. This process is called discovery, and includes interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. Prior to trial, Florida requires that the parties to the lawsuit attempt to settle the case (for example, by arbitration or mediation). Some trials are presided over by a judge and with others there is a right to a trial by jury.
