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.

“Custody, Child Support, and Divorce case.”
I was very pleased with the free consultation that was provided to me by her. She really took the time to listen to all my concerns and provided me with some excellent feedback. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service she provided me with and look forward to having her fight my case. I recommend her services to everyone.- Previous Client -
“Great Dependency Lawyer”
Great dependency lawyer. Was able to make strong arguments with very little information. Super sharp.- Previous Client -
“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 -

“Great Attorney!”
Thus far I am impressed with Tiffany L. Andrews. I found Tiffany on this very site while on a time crunch. Great reviews gave me hope. The start of my case occurred on a Wednesday night, Thursday night I was informed I needed legal counsel. I searched the web for hours until I came across Tiffany. The morning of Friday I called the office to schedule a phone consultation and informed them I needed a lawyer ASAP. Monday morning Tiffany showed up in court to represent me and I felt a sense of ease. I appreciate that Tiffany is very accessible. If I have a question she responds within a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to protect your privacy and rights. I hope the rest of my child dependency case is smooth sailing from here on out. Thank You, Tiffany, for your help. Greatly appreciated!- Previous Client -
