Legal Problems Don’t Always Fit in a Box

Some disputes don’t fall into a neat category. Whether you’re being sued, need to bring a claim, or want to prevent a legal issue from growing, we handle general civil litigation for individuals and small businesses across New York City and the Greater Hudson Valley.

What General Litigation Includes

  • Personal or business disputes
  • Claims for unpaid debts
  • Harassment or nuisance claims
  • Declaratory judgment actions
  • Temporary restraining orders or injunctions
  • Court enforcement of settlement agreements
  • Civil motions or appeals

If you’ve got a legal problem and don’t know where to turn, we can point you in the right direction—and represent you when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the first step if I’m served with a lawsuit?

    Call a lawyer immediately. You have limited time to respond—usually 20–30 days in New York. Ignoring it can result in a default judgment.

  • Can I represent myself?

    You can—but in most civil matters, having legal representation improves your outcome and reduces stress.

  • Will I need to go to court?

    Maybe. Many disputes settle outside of court. But if your case proceeds to trial, we’ll be ready.
