Work with the Experienced Litigation Lawyers in Adelaide
Civil litigation is the process of dispute resolution through the court system. Our litigation lawyers in Adelaide act in your best interest by evaluating the claim and advising on what to do next. Civil law allows you to sue for compensation or specific action in matters like a breach of contract, defamation, and negligence. You can consider civil litigation if you feel you have been wronged, but it is not a criminal matter for the police. Here are some of the civil disputes we can help you with;
- Neighbours
- Customers and suppliers
- Business partners
- Landlords and tenants
- Buyers and sellers of real property
- Buyers and sellers of any goods, including motor vehicles
- Homeowners and builders
- Employees and employers
Different legal cases have various time limitations. So, you must seek legal advice as soon as possible to determine whether you can commence legal proceedings.
Litigation Lawyers in Adelaide You Can Trust
It is advisable to seek other dispute resolution measures prior to taking the matter before a court of law. This can save you time and money. Our team can help you attempt other alternative resolution methods before taking the issue to court. Suing someone in court requires a cause of action and sufficient evidence to prove that they have wronged you. Our litigation lawyers in Adelaide will assess the facts, determine your best course of action, and advise on whether you have enough evidence to support your claim. Our lawyers conduct themselves professionally and ethically when dealing with your case. We will also treat you respectfully and maintain a positive and constructive attitude. This allows us to build a solid relationship with you and tailor our expertise to suit your needs. Let us help you resolve your dispute legally and fairly.

I would recommend Phil to anyone that has a difficult problem to handle and will definitely go back to him if required in the future.
William CornellI can't recommend Evans Testa Barristers & Solicitors enough should you ever find yourself in a position of needing a lawyer for your own circumstance. Lauraine is phenomenal in how she handles herself - from explaining the situation objectively from multiple perspectives to detailing potential outcomes and various options available.
