Our experienced attorneys bring skill, strategy, and relentless determination to every case.

Experienced Legal Advocacy Through Every Step of the Civil Litigation Process 

Pursuing or defending a civil lawsuit in Forsyth County involves navigating specific local rules and court procedures. Many people approach the idea of litigation with uncertainty, but a knowledgeable attorney can help clarify the process and alleviate unease. Below, we outline the typical steps involved in civil litigation in Forsyth County and how we can support you at each stage. 

Step 1: Filing the Lawsuit 

The civil litigation process begins with filing a formal complaint at the Forsyth County Clerk of Courts. This document outlines the basis of the dispute, the parties involved, and the legal relief sought. Our attorneys ensure that the complaint complies with Georgia civil procedure rules while accurately presenting the facts of your case. 

Step 2: Service of Process 

Next, the defendant must be formally notified of the lawsuit. This involves delivering the complaint and a summons, typically by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office or an approved private process server. Proper service of process is critical to ensuring your case moves forward without procedural delays, and we help coordinate this step to avoid errors.

Step 3: Pretrial Proceedings 

The pretrial stage includes discovery, where both sides exchange information, documents, and evidence relevant to the case. Additionally, there may be motions to resolve procedural issues or dismiss parts of the lawsuit. We leverage our knowledge of local practices to advocate on your behalf effectively. 

Step 4: Court Hearings & Resolutions 

Cases that cannot be resolved pretrial proceed to court or ADR. For cases requiring judicial attention, the Superior Court of Forsyth County handles most civil matters. We present clear and compelling arguments to achieve a favorable outcome.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Methods We Can Pursue for You 

While litigation is a proven approach to resolving disputes, not every case is best suited for the courtroom. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods offer businesses and individuals opportunities to address conflicts in less formal, less adversarial settings. 

  • Mediation.  Mediation allows both parties to work with an impartial mediator. Unlike a judge, mediators do not impose decisions. Instead, they strive to help parties develop mutually satisfactory agreements. Mediation is particularly effective for disputes where preserving relationships, such as those between business partners, is a priority. 
  • Arbitration.  Arbitration is a more structured ADR method where a neutral arbitrator hears both sides of the dispute, reviews evidence, and makes a binding or non-binding decision. Compared to traditional court proceedings, arbitration is faster, more confidential, and often less costly.

The benefits of ADR go beyond cost savings and efficiency. These methods allow parties to maintain greater control over the outcome and keep sensitive matters private. We assess each client’s situation to determine whether ADR is suitable and guide them toward the most appropriate resolution strategy.
