At EAG Law LLC, we focus on civil litigation – and on providing counseling and advice that may help you avoid litigation. For plaintiffs involved in a civil litigation matter, the objective is to right a wrong, honor an agreement, or to obtain compensation for an injury. Defendants in a civil litigation matter want to aggressively protect their rights in opposing the plaintiff’s claim, or assert claims of their own. Hiring a qualified attorney early in your dispute is crucial in crafting your strategy and achieving a successful outcome. We represent plaintiffs and defendants including individuals, partnerships, shareholders and corporations in the following types of cases: Alternative dispute resolution (negotiation, arbitration, mediation) Breach of contract Dissolution or breakup of a business Fraud Unfair trade practices Trade secrets Non-compete covenants Product liability
