Civil Litigation

Civil litigation encompasses a broad category of legal disputes between individuals or organizations that do not involve criminal charges. Navigating civil claims in court requires skilled representation and a thorough understanding of procedural rules and substantive law.

Our Civil Litigation practice handles a diverse range of civil cases in Puerto Rico and federally, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. This includes:

  • Eviction proceedings for property owners
  • Debt collection actions to recover funds
  • Personal injury and damages claims from accidents such as motor vehicle collisions or slip-and-falls
  • Permit-related disputes, including challenging or defending administrative decisions
  • Professional liability cases for allegations of negligence or misconduct

Whether initiating legal action or defending against one, we guide clients from filing to trial, using a fact-based, law-driven approach to pursue just outcomes.
