Civil litigation deals with an individual or business filing a suit against another individual or business. These are civil matters that can be solved in court or through mediation and arbitration. Some examples of civil litigation cases include a contract dispute between businesses or corporations or situations dealing with relationships between people, such as a marriage.
We routinely handle lawsuits involving business torts, construction, voting rights, intellectual property, contracts, products liability, professional negligence, and the like. In state court or federal court, with and without juries, before administrative boards, at trial and on appeal, Tharrington Smith represents cases one client at a time. Often our expertise is best applied in keeping clients out of court. To that end, our lawyers draft contracts, develop policies and procedures, and negotiate the resolution of disputes before litigation arises.
Tharrington Smith has a number of lawyers who have appeared in all levels of court, in North Carolina and elsewhere. They are comfortable in the courtroom but also know when to seek an alternate solution.
Melissa Hill helped me deal with an extremely difficult issue. She goes above and beyond and truly cares about helping you with your legal matters. She not only performs her job incredibly well, but is also very emotionally supportive and cares about you as a human being. I look at lawyers in a whole new light because of this person. I highly recommend her to ANYONE needing help with any kind of legal matters.
Melissa Hill was the best lawyer for my family. She was thorough, attentive and a blessing. I am grateful she was available when she was referred to us. You’re in great hands with Melissa leading the way!
I was referred to Hill Allen by a colleague in North Carolina to represent the wife of my client, both targets of a federal fraud investigation. Hill quickly agreed to take on the case, mastered it in just a few days, and handled multiple issues flawlessly. He was a pleasure to work with—effective, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Hill is the complete package. While I didn’t see him in front of a jury, I’m confident his smooth Southern charm would win over any juror. Having worked with some of the best trial lawyers, I would rank Hill among them.
Whether you’re facing a contract dispute, professional licensing issue, or complex litigation, Tharrington Smith offers the knowledge, experience, and commitment needed to protect your interests and achieve the best possible outcome.
