What Is A Litigation Lawyer?
A litigation attorney is an attorney whose practice focuses on handling legal disputes from the moment a lawsuit is filed through the end of the trial. A litigation attorney has extensive knowledge of the law and understands how best to represent their clients in court. They are responsible for filing documents, negotiating settlements, providing legal advice, and representing their clients throughout the entire process.

What Types Of Cases Do Litigation Lawyers Handle?
Litigation cases can be divided into two categories. The first is civil litigation, where the lawsuit involves two or more parties as plaintiffs and defendants. These cases typically involve matters of money, land ownership, personal injury claims, and contract disputes.
The other type of case that a litigation attorney might handle is criminal litigation in state and federal courts. This involves charges against an individual for violating state or federal law. Examples of criminal cases include murder, drug crimes, fraud, and white-collar offenses.
Types Of Civil Litigation Cases
Personal Injury Litigation
Personal injury litigation includes cases that arise from car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, etc. The common thread between these cases is they are all caused by someone else’s negligence.
In a personal injury case, personal injury litigation attorneys work on a contingency fee basis to attempt to determine how much a person should be compensated for their injuries. Allbee Law Firm has a tremendous amount of experience with handling personal injury litigation, but we aren’t the best fit for people who need legal assistance in one of the practice areas listed below.
Business Litigation
“Commercial litigation” is the term that’s used to describe most business law disputes. A commercial litigator will know the “ins and outs” of the following types of cases:
- Contract disputes
- Employment disputes
- Commercial real estate disputes
- Real estate transactions
- Intellectual property litigation
- Trade secrets
- Wrongful termination
Contract Law
A civil litigation lawyer can help a business owner or an individual who has been wronged by a breach of contract. They can analyze the legal terms of the contract and help you get the outcome you agreed to.
Education Law
A litigation attorney who specializes in education law can resolve disputes arising from student discipline disputes. They can also assist with special education services, accreditation issues, and academic freedom.
Environmental Law
Environmental litigators help people who have been harmed by environmental issues such as contamination from hazardous materials, pollution, issue related to emissions, and waste disposal.
Family Law And Divorce
Family law can include a wide range of cases, such as divorce proceedings, child custody disputes, and issues related to spousal support or child support. This particular area of law can be emotionally and financially draining, so it’s important to select an experienced family law lawyer. A family law attorney will advocate for your best interests regarding the following:
- Child support
- Divorce
- Pre-nuptial agreemtns
- Adoptions
- Alimony
- Division of property and assets
Landlord/Tenant Law
Landlords and tenants hire lawyers when they have disputes regarding rent, evictions, sub-par living standards, and other disagreements that need to be resolved with the help of a judge or jury. These issues are different from real estate litigation, which typically involves the purchase or sale of a piece of property.
Mass Torts – Complex Litigation
Mass tort attorneys handle litigation matters that involve multiple plaintiffs. The number of plaintiffs can range from as low as ten to millions of plaintiffs.
Even with an experienced civil litigation attorney, Plaintiffs would never see the inside of the courtroom if they had to wait for thousands of cases against the same defendant to be resolved. For this reason, a civil court judge will usually consolidate all of the cases into a smaller number of cases and appoint a “steering committee.” The steering committee is made up of a litigation team that includes attorneys with a track record of success on a particular type of case.
Medical Malpractice
A medical malpractice attorney will be able to help you if you have suffered harm or injury due to the negligence of a healthcare provider. This can include issues related to:
- Medical errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Prescription errors
- Surgical mistakes
- Birth injuries
- Birth trauma
- Mental health
Probate Law
Sometimes, probate matters can become quite complex and end up in litigation. Probate litigation attorneys handle issues such as:
- Contested or unprobated wills
- Disputes regarding the administration of the estate
- Claims of elder abuse
- Claims of financial exploitation
- Disputes involving trust and estate planning documents
Product Liability
Product liability cases involve helping people who have been injured by a faulty or dangerous product. These attorneys help clients receive payment for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and damages that were caused by a faulty product.
Worker’s Compensation
This area of law involves helping workers receive medical treatment and compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses.
