Mount Prospect Civil Litigation Attorneys

It is estimated that 40 million lawsuits are filed annually in the US, with at least 2.4 million filed in Cook County alone. While the thought of filing a lawsuit can be daunting, a civil lawsuit is sometimes the best way to settle a dispute between two parties. Our Mount Prospect civil litigation attorneys at Villadonga & Villadonga have extensive experience in civil litigation and can assist you in many civil matters, including:

Car Accidents

When a driver is negligent and causes a car accident in Illinois, the injured party has a right to obtain damages from the other party. If you and your attorney prove the other party’s negligence, you may receive damages for medical bills, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Illinois has a comparative negligence system, so you may still collect damages if you were partially at fault.

Evictions

Illinois civil courts deal with disputes between landlords and tenants. Our attorneys can assist you to evict a tenant from your rental property because they have not paid rent. You also can evict a tenant in Illinois for breaking the lease agreement; damaging the property; not leaving the property when the lease expires, or not leaving when there is no written lease and the landlord provided notice to vacate.

Small Claims Court

Any Illinois legal dispute with damages under $10,000 is a small claims suit. These cases typically deal with breach of contract, deceptive sales practices, fraud, personal injury, or disputes between landlords and renters. While hiring an attorney to represent you in small claims court is unnecessary, our Mount Prospect attorneys have a strong record in filing and defending these cases.

Civil Orders Of Protection

An Illinois judge may issue a civil order of protection after a hearing with a person seeking safety and a person accused of abusing the other party. You must be in court to receive the order if you are the petitioner. While the individual accused of abuse must be notified about this hearing, they may not attend. If this order is granted, it is valid for up to two years. Our attorneys can assist you with these cases and appear with you in court.

Stalking

Stalking is when someone repeatedly contacts, follows, or communicates with you in a way that causes fear for your safety and emotional distress. If this happens to you, our Mount Prospect civil litigation attorneys can assist you with filing a Stalking No Contact Order (SNCO) in court. With an SNCO, you can ask the judge to prevent the stalker from following, threatening, texting, emailing you, and more.

Business Litigation

If you operate a business, you know legal disputes can arise. Business litigation law involves various disputes that arise in commercial and business-related transactions. Our business litigation attorneys can assist with many legal issues, including business disputes, shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, business fraud, non-compete agreements, etc. Contract disputes are particularly common when one side of the transaction fails to live up to their obligations. Our attorneys can help you draft a contract that is fair, enforceable, and protects your legal interests.
