There are two main types of court cases in North Carolina: civil cases and criminal cases. Criminal cases involve the prosecution of persons accused by the state of the commission of a crime. Civil cases involve private parties suing each other to obtain court awarded relief, most often in monetary damages or a court order establishing and enforcing a party’s rights in a legal dispute. (child custody, alimony, injunctive relief, boundary dispute, etc.).

Yes. If you have suffered a loss, whether physical, financial, or emotional, for which you are entitled to compensation or if you need to enforce your rights in a legal dispute or if someone has filed a suit against you for damages, then you will need a civil litigation attorney. We can help.

Civil Cases consist of contract disputes, condemnation actions, wrongful death cases, medical and legal malpractice cases, auto-wreck cases, divorce, child-custody disputes, consumer disputes, business disputes, and caveats (will disputes). All these types of cases fall under the broad umbrella of “civil litigation.” If a case is brought by a private party with a summons and complaint as opposed to the State issuing a warrant or a citation, then the case is a civil case.
