Are you being sued in Texas? Do you need to sue someone? Most litigation follows a similar pattern, even when the facts can be very different. The case starts with a petition, where the plaintiff explains what the defendant did wrong. It is followed by an answer, where the defendant denies that they did anything wrong. The parties generally engage in discovery \u2013 requests for information, requests for document, requests to admit. Some cases also have depositions of one or more of the principals. After depositions, one (or sometimes both) parties will move to have the court resolve the case. If those motions fail, some cases can be resolved in mediation. A very few cases actually go to hearing. There are usually briefs and reply briefs at the end of the hearing.<\/p>\n

I have engaged in every stage of litigation. If you have a case in a court in Texas, please give me a call.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1783599450172{margin-top: 20px !important;}” woodmart_css_id=”6a4f90dc3f21f” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2YTRmOTBkYzNmMjFmIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ el_id=”ser-main-det-in-roww”][vc_column]\t\t
