General Litigation

Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is a lawsuit based on a non-criminal statute, meaning it is separate from a criminal proceeding. A civil lawsuit can range from a small claim, such as a fender bender, to a major matter involving many different parties. Common civil litigation matters often include:

• Landlord/Tenant Disputes – Whether you are a tenant or a landlord, having the right attorney can be essential in navigating disputes involving lease agreements, monetary deposit issues, and evictions.
• Contractors & Construction – Construction law is a highly specific legal area which requires an attorney to understand a great deal of technical information about both construction itself and contractors. Attorney Farrington has extensive knowledge of construction law and the practical issues that make the difference between a project moving forward smoothly or becoming bogged down by disputes.
• General Civil Litigation – Attorney Farrington has the experience representing clients in many different types of civil disputes throughout Massachusetts. These cases require careful thought and strategy because no two cases are the same.
