Frequently Asked Questions 
What is Civil Litigation?
It is the legal process involving disputes between parties in seek of either equitable relief or monetary compensation. Equitable relief is when the court issues an order requiring a party to do something or reframe from doing something, usually by way of an injunction or restraining order. A civil lawsuit may be filed either in federal or state court.
Can I Represent Myself in Civil Litigation?
We strongly advise against serving as your own attorney. Have you ever heard the old saying “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool as a client”?
  • Keep in mind: attorneys spend years in law school learning the intricacies of our legal system.

"Xander is hands-down the best attorney I've interacted with. He's thorough, always available, and aggressive. He's the guy you hope to be sitting next to -- and not across from. 

I've used him for numerous matters, including general litigation and real estate. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone in need of an attorney who will treat their matters with care."
