Resolving Disputes through Litigation

The Litigation Process
Typically, someone will file a summons and petition and, at times, additional moving papers in court seeking some form of relief. Then, the other side will respond. Usually, once the legal case begins, there is an exchanging of information either informally or formally. This is otherwise known as the discovery period.
After discovery is completed, most courts require the parties to attend a settlement conference to determine if the case may be resolved before trial. If the parties are unable to reach a settlement, the litigation continues to a trial.
Near or on the day of trial, one or both parties often make settlement offers, in the hope of avoiding court proceedings (which are often costly and protracted). Litigation ends if a settlement is reached. However, if not, a trial will commence. In family law and juvenile dependency proceedings, the trials are conducted by a judge – not a jury.
During a trial, both parties present relevant and admissible evidence that will help to prove the truth of their positions. If the moving petitioner makes a convincing case, the respondent may seek to settle the case immediately. On the other hand, if the petitioner presents a weak case, the respondent may ask the court to dismiss the case. If the trial proceeds to a conclusion, the judge must decide which party prevails. Once the Court makes a final decision, the losing party has the right to file a timely appeal.

“Excellent Attorney!”
Tiffany and her office have been Great. I am going through a difficult divorce. So far she has been there for me when I have concerns. In court, she has brought her A+ game. She is very detailed. Tiffany has been able to get full standard on alimony, which is what I wanted. And lawyer fees. For the first time in a long time, I am hopeful of a positive outcome.- Previous Client -
“Thank you beyond measure to Tiffany Andrews!”
Tiffany Andrews has been a huge help to me in my custody/parentage case. Not only has she eased my mind in this whole process, but has educated and guided me on/through this every step of the way! Extremely knowledgable, professional and timely with responses to my every question. Thank you beyond measure to Tiffany Andrews!- Sarah -
“Hard Working”
Ms. Andrews did a lot of research on issues she was not clear so that she would be able to provide accurate information and advice. She worked diligently on my case, while my ex's attorney was playing "legal games" - by sending letters with false claims to rack up his fees - while pretending to work on the case. Unfortunately my divorce was very complicated; however, in the end, Ms. Andrews managed to win over my ex - so he fired his attorney and we had Mr. Andrews finish the final paperwork for the both of us. In the end, Ms. Andrews saved both me and my ex, additional grief, frustration and money.- Previous Client -

Tiffany L Andrews has to be one of the best lawyers you can find. Tiffany is the most caring person that I have met in a while she is always looking after your best interest. Tiffany always keeps you informed either by phone or Email. I have had questions on my case Saturday and got answers by Saturday night. I have learned if you trust in Tiffany your case will be done excellently. -
“Excellent Process and Assistance”
I'd like to thank Tiffany for her advice. I've been divorced for over a year and am still trying to collect on the settlement agreement. I had a question about the legal interest and if it's collectible and she said definitely! as long as the judgment doesn't preclude it. She was extremely helpful - also offering other remedies to assist in the collection of the funds. I would definitely call her again if I need more help.- Previous Client -

“Effective and Professional Representation”
When an already difficult case took an unexpected turn, my Family Law attorney suggested another member of her team take on this new aspect of my case. As the issues of the case unfolded I was very relieved that Tiffany had been brought on to handle this troubling matter. Her professional confidence provided a sense of security while her familiarity with the complex issues kept me reassured. I am extremely happy with the final outcome of the issue and would confidently recommend Ms. Andrews for quality representation.- George
