CIVIL COURT MATTERS

A civil court action is sometimes the only solution to resolve matters both personal and business. Most civil court matters concern either a contract between two or more parties or a wrong caused by one party to another either deliberately or negligently. If you are involved in a dispute with someone we can first of all advise you on the prospects of success and negotiate on your behalf before a court action is necessary. If the matter goes to court we can commence or defend proceedings in the sheriff court or liaise with agents in Edinburgh to deal with a case in the Court of Session if that should prove necessary. In the case of accident and injury claims we can advise you on the prospects of success, conduct negotiations, usually with an Insurance Company, or if necessary commence proceedings in court. When a claim of this kind is successful the expenses are usually paid by the Insurance Company. We do not take a percentage of your damages award as some claims companies do.
